The onslaught battlegear could confer 2.77% extra chance to crit if the agility was swapped with crit rating, at a cost of 6.12% chance to dodge and 92.5 armor. This has nothing to do with it being plate, as the extra cost of the extra armor on plate is already factored in, it's just another kick to the crotch. By the same token, non-set pieces usually have crit rating rather than agility. Non-set pieces are better itemized for warriors than plate theoretically designed to be the perfect warrior DPS set, if Blizzard wanted to keep warrior damage from climbing so high with better scaling from crit rating, the obvious solution would be to cut out that 2.77% extra chance to crit and replace it with an equivalent value in a stat with lesser returns such as haste.
For future reference, the only classes who get less melee crit per agility than us are hunters and rogues, and they also get one AP for every point of agility. Also of note, for every class other than us and the other two mentioned agility is almost nearly equal to crit rating in the percentage of crit chance conferred.
If they want to make me able to tank a boss at any time if the main tank goes down, that's fine. But then why does my set not have any defense? I could trade that extra crit for 25.8 defense skill.

Well, other tier sets have crappy itemization too. Warrior tank sets have block rating (as well as so-so stats like strength and agility), and shadowpriest tier 4 set is packed full of spell crit rating.

Then we're in agreement, Blizzard fails at it's job. Seriously though, why do they bother inflating the iLevel of the gear and then stuff it full of filler stats? Why not just leave it at a low iLevel, or *gasp* make it a multi-purpose piece with a certain role more emphasized (DPS gear with a little defense on it would be an example).

Because then it'd be 'zomg PvP gearz" perhaps? being defensible yet powerful (DPS in Plate with defense stats) would seem unbalanced to me, and we all know Blizztard is working hard not to upset it's precious Arena.
Defense rating does not make for good pvp gear. It's pretty bad DPS too, but it would go a long way in ensuring that more tanks exist.

I was taking defense stats to mean resilience, but I'm probably wrong

Seeing as how it was my suggestion he was quoting I can probably be considered an authority on the subject.

I think you're giving Blizzard too much credit. There are a lot of ways our tier gear could be designed to better suit the warrior class than to load up on stats that are inherently gimpy for us. Like giving fury warriors a little defense rating so that they are actually usable as dependable off-tanks in raids, or allowing them to tank a five-man occasionally without having to swap all their gear out.
