"It's also worth noting that we may actually see less stamina on some tank gear than some DPS gear, as we'll be expected to make up the balance with stamina gems."

It's obviously way too early to go getting clever ideas, but if this DPS gear is going to be that good, why don't I just get that gear, have more Stamina, put out more threat and let my talents take care of all the tanky issues?

I'm assuming that tank gear will still have things like dodge, parry, and block on them. I'm also going to guess that dps gear will more likely have things like crit.

Wait wait wait...
So ~50% avoidance is better than 10% avoidance for a tank?

I haven't seen anything indicating that DPS will have more stamina than tanks. This would be pretty ridiculous for Blizz to implement, and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere but here, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the author is making it up.

I think the idea is that it might be that we'll see a dps plate item with with 250 stamina, and a tanking plate item with 220 stamina but three blue sockets.
