Hey i wanted to ask 2 questions About Feral Tanking.]

First of all i wanted to ask is it worth to Replace 391(t12 set gloves) to LFR t13 gloves and also to replace 391 offset chest for lfr tier chest. This would Mean i tould lose t12hc 2set for t13 LFr and Normal 4set

My other Question is about gemming.I read massive amount of Threats Saying U should gem 60stamina and ignore set bonuses if below 30agi. Some are saying to gem 60 sta to everything exept Yellow and in yellow i should put dodge gems. Other says i should use Only 20agi/30sta gems in red sockets and stamina in blue and dodge in yellow.Other saying i should just go for 40agi in each socketn and there are even more combinations. and im really confussed now so i was wondering if u could help me.

For the part about gemming:

Seita wrote:I think that Stamina is the best stat to have because it is the most reliable survival stat for the druid class. Mastery isn't as hot as it is for other classes and dodge starts to diminish the more gear you get so I rather have a bigger HP pool than little higher chance to dodge. Stamina also increases your vengeance cap which increases your Savage Defences, also theres always overhealing which again increases the value of Stamina more than avoidance.

It also depends on the content you tank. Stamina is the most reliable survival stat, agility/dodge reduces damage taken most.

Seita tanks heroic content in previous content's gear, in other words, undergeared. With raidmembers who avoid much of the incoming damage, allowing healers to focus on the unavoidable damage.

ETA: To clarify: If I run a 5m dungeon with a poorly geared healer I'm most worried he might go oom if I soak too much damage, if I run a 25m heroic instance while undergeared I'm most worried about reliably surviving those big hits.
