Granted, this is just speculation, and much testing hasn't been done on gems. :) <abbr><em>Wukki´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.murlocqueen.info/wind-shock-shamans-mana-battery/" rel="nofollow">Wind Shock: Shaman’s Mana Battery</a></abbr></em> In terms of actual mitigation, stacking strength gems will probably be more viable for mitigation than dodge / stam, since dodge has diminishing returns.

The more and more I read and think and learn about the patch and the expansion the more I just cannot wait. @Kadomi Glad you enjoyed the article, Kadomi.

I also like being able to gem differently. Who woulda thunk, there are other than blue gems out there? Amazing! :) <abbr><em>Kadomi´s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TankLikeAGirl/~3/413870153/" rel="nofollow">Countdown continued: 7 days to go</a></abbr></em> Very nice review of gems.

The days of stacking Stamina are over in my opinion. I think going for socket bonuses and using the other colored gem sockets correctly are going to benefit us more now that crushing blows are relatively out of the picture. I'd have to say that I think using STR in red sockets is going to be the solid way to go as it will not only buff your mitigation but your threat as well. Yellow sockets are still up in the air with what you want to stick in them based on whether you need survivability or threat. Great post overall though. <abbr><em>Albinobeard´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.defensivestance.com/?p=28" rel="nofollow">My Priorities</a></abbr></em> I like what you’re saying here and I totally agree with you.

Great post overall though.
