In Cata they're streamlining gear, defense rating won't appear on any new gear in Cata and tanks will instead receive a SotF type talent. AP and SP will not appear on any new gear in Cata and will instead be derived from strength, agility, or intellect respectively. Other stats will receive a similar treatment as well.
We've got at least 8 months before any of this matters so no point worrying now.

This isn't new information.. In cataclysm (and if it's in a patch before cataclysm, i wouldn't trust it without a reliable source linked like a blue post) the talent trees for all classes are being severely redone. Defense cap will be granted via talents like it is for druids. Don't get rid of your gear with defense rating on it just yet, because they will still have stats tanks want after the change, like dodge, block, parry and stam.

Defense won't actually be disappearing, it will be attained through the talent trees. You will, however, have to stay def capped until Cataclysm or the patch immediately before it, so stop freaking out.
