Why would you equip any gear with strength on a feral druid in the first place?

I use all strength-gear on my warrior and all agility-gear on my feral druid. Isn't that the gear design in Cata?

Yeah... you're doing it wrong. You get twice as much AP from Agility as Strength as a druid. What gear are you using that has STR anyway?

I imagine this stems from tanky rings and neck pieces that have strength on them.

Seems to be a valid concern.

The strength change will hurt cats more then bear in the end. Its mainly coming from the loss of AP from battle shout, kings and Aggression. @MattKrotzer currently druid gain 2 AP per point of strength, which is what is changing in 4.2. Though i dont see why a bear would use strength items over agi ones.

Currently my warrior tank can roll on agi rings/stuff. I can only assume this is because they get dodge from them, so this fix means tanks will be less able to ninja in 5-mans.
