Bears should apparently be strong in Cata?Follow

Maybe I just haven't seen enough yet but at level 84 with two zones and several instances under my belt I've yet to see any bear tank gear - the tanking trinkets, necks, cloaks and rings and what-not all have STR to them - have yet to see any AGI based ones which would be fitting for a bear.

So am I simply not finding them yet or did Blizz forget us ferals again?

No, Blizzard did not forget about us. Probably more so than paladins, warriors and death knights, it's not the inherent and pre-determined STATS on a druid tank's gear that makes them a tank, it is the GEMS and ENCHANTS that YOU, the player, choose to put on the gear, that determines if it is dps or tank gear. A piece of gear doesn't need to be loaded for bear (HAHA, get it?) with dodge to be for tanking. In fact, I'm not so sure I've even seen tank-based plate that has shield block or parry because I believe damage mitigation stats were intended by Blizzard to be rolled into that particular tank class's primary stats. Just like all secondary stats really, all I ever see anymore are +AP, +crit, +haste, +SP and +mastery.

So the lesson here is, instead of waiting for a piece of gear with dodge on it, gem it for agility. Or if you're specced right and already loaded for bear (HAHA I did it AGAIN!) on dodge, gem it for stamina.
