Is this a good talent suggestion?

A talent in prot (5pointer) that gives us 35% o our stamina as spelldamage. Would be 7% per point. Then Blizz could remove spelldamage rom our tiered tankign sets and we could focus more on avoidence and stamina.

It's pretty OP as you describe it. At the moment, in T4/badge gear for the most part, I hover around 400 spelldamage, (250 of which is from my weapon) and about 1400 stamina raid-buffed. Even if the spelldamage was taken off my armor, I'd still end up with 750 spelldamage. Much as I wish otherwise, I don't see that happening.

Maybe 3/6/9/12/15% would be more balanced, but I'm still pretty opposed to adding yet another talent to the already bloated Prot tree.

That said, there has been murmurs that 2.4 will include soloing buffs for Prot-spec tanks along the lines of the ones they gave healers. Maybe a % of Block Value as spelldamage for pallies and AP for Warriors?

Looking like the devs favor a loot combination between some class/spec (i.e. Ret/arm-fury, enha/hunter, etc..) for the love of a good loot economy, initially I thought something similar between prot pally and prot warrior, a kind of stat conversion in spelldmg to use a pure tanking plate and weapon.

Then, I come up with the DK...

Atleast they could create a weapon, a rare drop starter, much like the Quel'Serrar (spelling?). A weapon that gives a good chunk of spelldamage aswell as some nice avoidence/mitigation stats. I prefer swords infront of maces, looks cooler imo.

Like:

Sword of tankdining
2.00 Speed
80-150 dmg
55 DPS

+20 Stamina

Equip: Increases spelldamage with 280
Equip: Increases your block with 2%
Equip: Increases your block value with 25

Some unique Equip, like BV, I havn´t seen BV on a weapon in my playtime.

That would be a 111+ dps 1-h melee weapon before the spelldamage configuration, the itemlevel would be insanely high.
Tone your weapon down.

Could be realistically tied in to 1H spec.

Spell Warding: Also gives you spell damage equal to 25/50% of your block value.

Then also change all of our abilities to work with melee hit instead of half and half.

That means the hit rating on warrior will become more useful and allow our threat to scale with block value as do warriors. Spell hit can be removed from all tank gear.

This will consolidate tanking gear significantly and make stats that we want mirror warriors much closer.
