you're far away enough from the cap that you'll need the armor, my friends. Threat is a non-issue for those bears, especially with hit/expertise items available, so the AP and crit are LOL.ДЇor people without at least tier 5 equivalent items. Being able to put 15stamina blue gems in almost all of your slots is an immense help, as is a high stamina trinket. This set-up is the opposite of stamina friendly. Ultimately, here's the dead end: people with access to 5/5 t6 for such a set-up will be worrying about tanking Sunwell bosses for which stacking stamina is more reliable. not accounting for the freedom and flexibility you get from not having your enchants/gems/consumables dedicated to uncrittability. NOT including the UBRS quest trinket knocks off a 1000 armor leaving you right at the cap. I just simulated this set very hastily, maybe you could squeeze some more armor out, but here's an example- including that UBRS quest trinket alone robs you of a spot for 51 stamina, or 36 def/32dodge/use effect. The amount of stats you lose from sub-optimal choices outweighs the 3 stamina, bit of dodge and AP/crit this gains vs Wildfury. Those saying it's a bad tank item because you'd be hard-pressed to reach the cap without armor on a weapon are right.ДЇilling every other slot with its max armor item (5/5 t6, heroic badge cloak/wrists/old neck/2.4 ring, kara ring, badge of tenacity, UBRS quest trinket) gemming/enchanting them all for agility, and assuming fully improved raid buffs - using this staff would leave you no more than roughly 1000 armor over the cap.
