Is parry haste (of a boss) realy that big of an issue in raids, its just one of the warrior tanks in our guild keep saying im a retard for stacking avoidance/stam over expertise. Now i run the 27 expertise that i need for dodge immune do i need more?
Yes and no. If you are over 26 expertise, it's honestly your choice whether to go Expertise/Stamina, Dodge/Stamina, or just Straight Stamina for your red sockets. There's really not a wrong answer. Expertise/Stamina will increase threat and reduce parry-haste damage, dodge/stamina is still good (10 Dodge rating should be somewhere around 0.14 to 0.16% DRed avoidance), and there are some who would even gem straight stamina, ignoring possible stamina socket bonuses, and just taking the 8 or 9 Stamina instead of the 10 Dodge Rating.
You really need to look at combat logs to get a feel for if Parry-haste is killing you. Ever since crushing blows were removed, the whole "parry-gib" thing has for the most part gone away. You will occasionally run into problems on fights where people DPS from the front (like Auriaya), or when bosses turn around to cast spells (Steelbreaker, Jaraxxus, Thorim, etc etc etc etc etc). When bosses turn around it exposes the front of the boss to the melee that is behind, causing them to parry, which in turn causes increased damage to the tank. You can find a couple threads on the official forums where people have posted combat logs of parry-haste causing ~0.5 second swing timers on bosses.
But for the most part, don't worry too much about it. I don't think I've ever died to parry haste. If everyone is doing their job for the most part, your healers should be able to cover the small RNG burst damage caused by an occasional tank parry.
