Block rating is pretty useless. Block value is useful to a point for increasing ShoR damage, but it's only really a TPS stat. As for dodge and parry, you should aim for having 1.88 times more dodge than parry.
The problem with avoidance versus stacking EH is that avoidance doesn't help when you're stunned or have mobs behind you. The second one you should really be working to prevent but when there's a ton of adds everywhere you can't always be 100% sure you'll get everything in front of you, and obviously there's really nothing you can do about stuns. Also Agility is more useful than Dodge, all things considered.
As for when exactly to stack exactly how much of what, I'm not sure, but this should at least help somewhat.

For heroics... gem +str.
Edit: Don't forget that strength adds to block value as well... it is some mitigation (a teeny bit) and a ton of threat.
Its all about threat there.
This is best
but
This
is easier to get.
I will have to update after we get a better loot table from the new 5-mans.
Block value (and rating) make heroics much easier.
No need to gem +stam for heroics.
