Stamina is far from being the top stat, as stated billions of times before, this isn't WotlK anymore. Having an extra 60k health does a lot less than having an extra 5-10% avoidance.

Having more health won't help you survive because the healers won't be topping the extra off. Meanwhile Dodges & Parries directly affect your healer's mana expenses making it a better stat than stamina.

I'm expecting there will be a Health cap for tiers in cata, where putting more past a certain point is wasted stats.

Max avoidance, once thats done, max mastery. If you've already got good health, you don't need to gem/enchant for more.

Also, magic damage is irrelevant, not only are the "big" hits gone, DKs can simply pop anti magic shell and breeze trough problematic spells.
