Hm, maybe so. Although one is a (bad) primary stat and the other is a (good) secondary stat, so you don't normally compare them. I suppose you mean that mastery should be higher, the strength being 1.05 seems spot on to me, 1 AP per strength + 5% from buffs.
I'll see if I can find my
terrible
mistake.
I think
terrible
was a slight exaggeration due to the fact that since Agi and Str are both
primary
stats and Agi is far better than Str, there would never be a time when you would prefer Str to Agi, thus a
priority or weighting on primary stats makes no sense
.
Whereas with secondary stats and reforging, you easily end up with 3 different secondary stats on any given item, in which case a
priority or weighting on secondary stats makes sense
.
Also, it seems that for every class/spec, there is one
primary
stat which is
the best
stat to stack, which was Blizzard's intent with primary stats, unlike in the past. This being the case, it further removes the point to weighting any primary stats.

Including primary stats in stat weights is necessary when comparing any gear that includes primary stats. Having enough agility on an item can counterbalance losing secondary stats and as an example, falling below the expertise cap. But it goes both ways.

if you
still have to gem +hit (all of us have to for this tier).
This is what reforging is for. In full 346 heroic blues, you can hit expertise AND hit cap and gem full agi. The reforging allows you to take not-as-good secondary stats (haste,crit, possibly mastery) from the gear you have, change it into currently-the-best secondary stats you need (exp,hit, possibly mastery).
With the addition of reforging, any item with more total stats than another will almost always be a better item. Because why would you waste a potential 40 agi on one socket when you could reforge some haste and crit on other pieces of gear to cover the hit rating loss?
Also, if you find that trying to reforge between ~17 pieces of gear with 2 secondary stats on each with multiple possible values to hit exactly the
expertise cap of 541
and the
spell hit cap of 1742
while
maxing your mastery rating
and
favoring crit over haste
is all too much work, simply head over to
