Agility is also some crit, thus a minor threat/DPS increase. But I still don't get why they would socket it even if it was for threat, expertise should do more for threat if you're concerned about that and dodge rating gives more dodge than agility does.

interesting, but i haven't seen that yet (in non-bears). the only reason i can imagine would be for the armor... 22 armor vs. 10 dodge i guess.

Is the +agil/ +stam the "new" gem to put in the red sockets ( if wanting to get socket bonus)? I have been seeing some end game tanks useing that instead of the +dodge/ +stam. Or is it still +expertise/ +stam if not expertise capped then dodge/ stam? Not sur ei fthe 22 armor u get from agil is better than the .15% to block....( dont quite remember exactly what the dodge is that u get...)
Make sure the endgame tanks you are seeing are not paladins. Paladins only need something like 59.88 agility for 1% dodge, whereas Warriors need 84.75 agility for 1% dodge. It's 45.25 dodge rating for 1% dodge, so you see it's much better for a Paladin to take 10 Agility (0.167% dodge, 0.184% factoring kings) than a Warrior (0.118% dodge, 0.130% factoring kings) instead of 10 dodge rating (0.221% dodge).
Warriors still gem for dodge rating.

Socketing agility is indeed fine for paladins, but not warriors. Expertise or dodge is for warriors.

What about the armor u get from agil? with the 10agil/ 15stam gem u get .16% crit, .08%dodge and 20 armor and the stam. With the 10dodge/ 15stam gem u get .15% dodge and the stam. Does the 20 armor u get from the agil just not make up for the .15% dodge that u would get from the 10dodge/ 15 stam gem?
As I said recently in another post, EH-wise 20 armor is worth about 20 health, which is about 1.7 Stamina.
10 Agility is worth 5.88 Dodge Rating, +1.7 Stamina. Using the rough equivalency of 9 Stamina = 10 Avoidance rating, that 1.7 Stamina is worth roughly 1.88 dodge rating. So putting it all into common factors, 10 agility is worth 5.88 dodge rating + 1.88 dodge rating or 7.77 total dodge rating, plus 0.16% crit. Compared to 10 dodge rating.
