Best Tanking Weapon Enchant (WOTLK).. Agility?

Agility is currently best for constant survivability, Mongoose if you like taking your chances (unpredictable survivability is a healers worst nightmare). TBC potency is only good if you're rocking around 1400 dodge rating or something silly like that and the tps boost isn't nearly enough to compensate.

So basically, yeah, go with agility. Mongoose doesn't seem to proc off our tanking seals/attacks, so it has a really low upkeep.

Anybody asks you different, ask them why they gem/enchant for survivability in every other slot and why your weapon should be different. Don't see many tanks rocking the +crit/ap leg enchants or socketing for strength over stamina.

Survivability is king. If you're having threat issues on Malygos, tell your hunters/rogues to lern2misdirect and make sure you hand of savlation the fury war pulling 6k+ dps in sparks.

Looks!

Moongoose looks cool thou =p

What about "Duration" fights? Where it's not necessarily avoiding a killer blow, but not straining the healers mana. Any ideas how moongoose performs vs agility in that situation?

Is a constant small agility boost more mana saved over time than a large agility boost in short durations?

Also, what enchants have nice GFX? I was really disapointed by potency that didn't have any appearance at all.

I'm in the same boat as many others having just gottent TRSoC to drop the other night, and am debating what to enchant on it, as I anticipate having it for a while.
