This post on the wow paladin forums might be of use to you:
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html;jsessionid=DD7B3A6161B67F266958EB295CCEDAF6?topicId=102913891&postId=1027858024&sid=1
Currently, it takes approximately 31.54 parry rating at level 70 to equal 1% of parry. So a +8 parry rating gem is 8/31.54 = 0.25% parry.
Dodge is approximately 19.4% per 1% dodge. A +8dodge rating gem is 8/19.4 = 0.42% dodge.
0.42 - 0.25 = 0.17 avoidance you're missing because of parry instead of dodge.
After the patch, 31.54 * 0.75 = 23.7 rating for 1%
8/23.7 = 0.34 % parry
0.42 - 0.34 % = 0.08% avoidance
numbers are heavily rounded, but you get the point

parry is usefull in combination with blessing of wisdom. That way you'll get more mana from extra hits.
And, as a pally tank you should NEVER use BoW in a heroic/raid, so...
The faster seal output (Seal of Righteousness) I definitly found very nice to have.
And there's another seal you shouldn't use while tanking...
First recommendation:
Make sure you do more reading than this thread. Not all advice comes from sources that know what they're talking about..
ok, nvm, i see the post you linked parry does make you attack faster sometimes, but my threat gen isnt a problem now so i'll stick with dodge gems.
Second recommendation:
Parry is always worse than dodge due to the way diminishing returns affects both. However, if you're looking to gem optimally, you should NEVER gem for parry OR dodge. If you're looking to stack stats properly, gem/enchant for
Stamina
, and use a
Shifting Dreadstone
to activate your meta.
Edit: My reccomendation is based on the assumption that you're level 80 and are decently geared in T9-ish gear or better.

Check for Necro next time.
Ah... that explains it. As you can see from my reply, I generally assume that people with current questions will simply make a new thread, rather than dig one up and give it some loving.
I edited my comment and removed the rating:value bit (I got lazy and didn't look it up before commenting) - I was basing that statement on previous comments, which aren't currently accurate.
Please people, don't necro. It confuses the crap out of people like me.

And for that exact reason, I'll lock it down.
