Hm, as it seems blizzard are ready to release the 80 level content.

Then we are going to see how the threat of all tanks is going to be adjusted, and eventually experience some changes.

A proof of the fact that the 80 level content might be released soon is this screenshot: http://www.worldofraids.com/gallery/files/1/wowscrnshot_081408_040750_original.jpg

In addition, tanks seems to be kinda finished as for the current content of 77 level, during the last patch they were all receiving just minor tweaks and bug fixes.

The real fixing will be coming with the release of level 80 content where we can expect major changes on the whole tanking concept at high-end instances.

GIF BETA KEY!!!!

I'm having problems understanding some of the logic in this thread:

Olsonic, while the scaling may appear to be equal in some places between AP and SP, remember that every 1 STR = 2 AP. That should give you an idea, and a closer look at the math reveals that Strength and pure Block Value are our best threat stats, followed at a distance by AP which is significantly better than SP, which is significantly better than Stamina (SP from the talent based on Stam)

Whether or not we will still be using spell power weapons is up in the air at the moment due to Hammer of the Righteous, which scales with raw weapon damage but not very well.

That talent grants spell power based on stamina, it doesn't directly increase your spell power from gear.

There are two epic blacksmithing weapons currently in game, one is 88 DPS with 490 SP and the other is 143 DPS with 140 AP. The difference between the two when tanking 1-3 targets is less than 2% threat.
