Druid threat

What do your defensive stats look like when gearing for threat rather than survivability?

I'm not really sure what you mean here. If you're talking about swapping in my offensive gear, that can be a pretty big change. :)

In full offensive gear, using a shield, I have the following:

4599 life (unbuffed)
6548 armor (54.3% damage reduction)
318 defense
9.77% chance to dodge
10.72% chance to parry
5.72% chance to block (40 block listed on the shield)

However, in doing this my crit chance jumps from 11.55% to 23.50% chance to crit and I gain +4% chance to hit. Also note that block value I am listing is only what is on the shield + any bonuses that I have listed from gear. In the tank gear example, I had the 3 piece Might set bonus of +30 block. The actual amount you block is also dependant upon a Warrior's strength.

Overall, I've found that I can more-or-less swap in offensive gear for defensive gear to fit any point between the two extremes (with a few sweet points due to my use of item sets).

One particular set of gear that I like to use when doing main assist work in places like Zul Gurub gives me something like the following:

5039 life (unbuffed)
4751 armor (4x.x% damage reduction) <---- I forgot to write the mitigation down :)
341 defense
11.39% chance to dodge
11.64% chance to parry
10.64% chance to block (70 block) **

In this set, I'm actually dual wielding one-handed swords with a 19.75% chance to crit. Thus, I'm able to very quickly lock down aggro on each target that I select to kill through the use of Sunder Armor and Heroic Strike. Very, very rarely does anyone pull aggro off of me when I'm in this set of gear.

And, of course, I'm still experimenting with this gear set. I can lose a few percent of crit chance for several % better chance to dodge, if I want. :)

** = Since I'm dual wielding, most of the time, this can be discounted. However, for tough fights or when "things go wrong" I swap in a shield for extra damage mitigation. That also makes my armor jump up to 6886 (55.6% mitigation).
