Tanking in DPS gear?

Hear me out.
According to Wowhead's Stat Weights, Mastery is up there with Stamina with stats we want. So much so, that I've found that using certain
filters
, DPS items attained a better score in terms of Stat Weight.
I know how Weights work. Some stats are better than others, but is Mastery enough that it can counter the less-useful stats like Crit and Haste?
Then there's the prejudge mental types in Heroics that take one look at gear and send people down for not having the 'right' gear. Will this affect people?

The filters appear to put Agility in much higher regard than Strength. Is this more useful? Should I buy things like rings with Agility?

Naaah. Agi just gives more dodge than str gives parry. Threat still makes str king.

So the new rule of thumb, if it's plate and a higher ilvl, roll on it.

Unless it has Healadin stats on it. Then ninja it and vendor it.

You're right that short of craftable's a DPS belt is pre-raid BiS for tanking, but that's
Belt of the Ferocious Wolf
. (Not including craftables) Other then that, while I DID accidentally tank up to the second boss of Grim Batol in DPS gear, stamina is on all gear and Mastery is on most tank pieces, so while it's possible and may be an upgraded in some rare cases you still have a preference for tank gear because Dodge/Parry is sexy.
