Removed the proposed sott change, until it arrives I think it's important to illustrate "something" extra is needed. I still maintain that it should be something more interesting than a flat modifier.

Looking at your chart:

DK:
Your avoidance is a weee bit high considering your raw value is equal to pally/war
Bear:
You're just better then pally/war at everything
Pally/War:
Equal enough that I don't really care

One thing I'm looking to add (I keep coming up with things to build, I suspect I'm doing more theory than playing at the moment) and was pointed out to me the other day, is parry haste. There was a good thread on ej some time ago that worked out an average haste per proc over a period. With all the parry and a physical based strike system, dks would lose more than the others I'd assume.

edit: maybe another sheet though, lots of external data needed there.

Ziggy,

I noticed in your spreadsheet that you have a 6% modifier on STA and STR for a frost dk. Are you assuming frost tanks are getting Veteran of the Third War? Most frost specs I've seen aren't:

Also, you should add the glyph component for UA, I don't see any frost tank not using that.

Last thing, why would DK's suffer more from an enemy's chance to parry haste? Wouldn't a 2H and Rune Strike favor DK's?

Sounds like calculating flurry cycles

Beware, though, DK's most likely get a bye from this whole circular parry haste thing because of Rune Strike, which should up and used every white attack.

Ok take a look at the parry haste in this version, I believe it should be pretty accurate.
