A guy whose boots get him out of flames 8% faster is the same as the experienced guy whose instincts tell him when to respond 8% quicker than Johnny Tuskarr. Know what I mean?

erm... no it's not, theres a difference between increased reaction speed, and increased run speed. Now if tuskarrs vitality gave +8% to reaction times then you'd be correct.

The simple fact of the matter is that what truly makes people elite players cannot be captured in a gear score, an enchantment, a pile of steaming theorycraft, etc. It's instinct. Period. Numbers, gear scores (and their mods) do nothing else than serve purposes of vanity when it all comes down to it. Talking about them as facts or absolutes shows a very incomplete method of analysis, which to me is almost completely irrelevant to anything that takes place in the real game.

You can be the best tank in the world but if your a level 55 deathknight then your still not going to tank ICC. The ability to choose the correct gear/spec to play optimally is as much of an asset as being able to avoid fire and not being a complete Dilbert during an encounter.
