Apparently Blizzard is tinkering with the possibility of updating our tanking plate for WotLK. Changes focus on the removal of spell damage and intellect and replacing it with strength on the gear. This includes the tier sets, badge rewards, and even the Tankatronic Goggles.

Cool. No really, most of what I'm seeing indicates that STR will be a key stat for pally tanks now(right after STAM). With all our spells except healing and holy shield having AP scaling plus BV being used for Shield of Righteousness, STR will be giving us a lot more TPS. heck we might even do noticable white damage :)

If the Prot tree weren't so bloated a Prot/Ret spec would be awesome. Increase your spell damage by your Stamina
and
your Attack Power? I'd buy that.
Unfortunately I can't really find a build that gets down to Sheath of Light in Ret without dropping critical* talents in Prot.

The 5 points in anticipation is going to be 5% dodge instead of 20 defense, as seeing high end tanks almost dropping the talent entirely because of the amount of defense that level of gear had, while 5% dodge is beneficial to everyone at every level of tanking.
Theyre removing CB and I'm just guessing putting in harder hitting bosses,I mean look at shield block now, 10 seconds of block with +100% block value, so 10 out of 50(haven't checked) seconds they block for double the amount they have, that would be 2k off each hit for my GMs warrior.
I did the math and came out with before talents Id lose like 9 defense rating, 140 Spell damage as well as 7 expertise and 3% avoidance while gaining 264~ strength, All of this is in t5/badge gear so just to show at what gear level people get what net gains/losses.

I've heard rumors of 6k SotR crits.

With the autoblocker up I have 1k block value in my block set so (1k*2)*2) I can get 4k now if it were a crit. Granted this is before they change most of the gear to also have str, changing some of the gear with more/less BV
