Tanks that stack stam usually stack it because it's not at the mercy of RNG. Usually to avoid wipes due to an unlucky string of unavoided hits, and give the healers precious time to land heals because the tank was capable of soaking up the hits.

Parry also suffers from a higher rate of rating needed per percentage point than dodge, also has a lower point of diminishing return. Block is getting a buff next patch but right now it's a pretty weak mitigation/avoidance stat because the bosses in Ulduar hit way too hard, and it's both at the mercy of the RNG, and only mitigates a small percentage of damage. Mostly block is a threat stat right now for Shield slam and reflective damage.
