What attributes do you look for when collecting gear?

Another topic dealing with actual in-game issues instead of the typical mumbo-jumbo on these forums. I hope you guys don't mind....
Anyway I would like to know what are the main attributes that you try to concentrate on for your class? They may be the obvious ones, at least to me:
Hunters-agi/str
Paladins-str/sta
Rogues-agi/str
Mages-int/spi
Druids-int/str or agi
Warlocks-int/sta
Priest-int/spi
Warriors-str/agi
Shaman-int/sta
Or maybe something entirely different. If you could please give a reason why. Do you need more HP for PvP? Trying to cut down on downtime or is it what suits your game-style? Please feel free to post.

Looks like you hit them on the button to me. I am a fiend for stam for some reason. Doesnt matter to me but stam always seem to be nice haveing a larger base on health. Like rogue I would be like agl/ and split stam and str. (played rogue to 30 lvl and quit to of a easy mode for my tastes
I like to take considered weaker classes and make them shine more). I have played every class (expect paly only made it on the allience side to lvl 15) to lvl 25 and my mains are warlock and druid. I would think a warr would spec str/stam with options for agil in pvp. Since casters like to stay at distance and armor is not affected by the af. My warlock is int/stam (no need for sprt with life tap). My druid is int/stam and have second set of armor for morphs that is str/stam/agl.
Yeah the extra sta for the warrior wouldn't hurt, but seeing as they naturally have THE highest HP in the game I went for the agi to increase my overall damage. Also playing on a PvP or PvE server would definately make a difference how I would spec. Seeing as you have to activate PvP in order to engage in it. I play on a PvP server so it helps to be geared toward PvP in a since for me. But lately I've been keeping extra gear on me to switch out when the PvP moment arrives......don't see much action though since my warrior is only lvl 29.

Depending on your build, rogues might need stamina gear, too. The extra life helps those rogues using a good Combat-Sword build. They are the more upfront rogues opening with a DoT in battle and standing as close to "toe-to-toe" as any rogue will be able to.
Hmmm maybe at lower levels but high end I would definately switch to str over sta for rogues. I never like the combat build for rogues although I've seen numerous rogues running around with combat specs. A mage killer is what I'm after with my rogue, I kinda wish spi tied in with energy regen then it would be a no-brainer for me I would be agi/spi all the way.

My main is a lvl 60 Hunter. Although Agi is the primary attribute I look for, Int is quickly replacing Stam for me. In instances I mostly consider myself a caster and for pvp I'm usually kiting anyways.

Oh, cruel fate, to be thusly boned. Ask not for whom the bone bones. It bones for thee.
Warrior:
Perhaps when leveling or for pvp you could focus on agi.
But I'd say str and sta.
How's that working out for you? I was considering building a hunter with spi/agi so I could regen mana faster. Having such a small pool you would really see the effects, but a int in place would seem a very interesting sub for spi or str. My wife has a level 60 hunter, but now that she has most of her beaststalker gear (except for the helm) I haven't gotten a chance to test out my theory. I would love to hear from some of you mid to low level hunters out there (50 and below) to see if you have tried int or spi in place of str.

Nothing is better than being a mage with a huge stamina pool and having rogues jump you expecting you to drop in 3 hits and then being like
''WTF HAPPEND!?!?!?!11''
*Jmonster begins casting fireball*
''wtf wtf wtf nerf mages!''
your head asplode!!
Druid: Is a hybrid char. (uses the whole attribute stat)
1- Feral: For feral you better go Str/Agi/Stam
reason: all feral Druid cannot do damage if they don't have agi and Str. Agi for Cat form and Str for Bear form. And agi gives better dodge
2- balance: all the item of the eagle as a basic gear. (stam/Int)
reason: all they do is damage and survive.
3-Restoration: healing items with Int/Spirit gear.(i'm a level 60 druid restoration)
Reason : Healing druid works better in group. And healing is his job. Spirit make regeneration for druid a mana machine. I always had my spirit higher then my Int. They always say higher spirit mean more Mana.
if there any comment on this please do reply just to be sure i didn't miss or make an error on something.

You know after lots of testing on Bear form. The conclusion was the more str you have the higher the damage is.

No matter the MMORPG or the class...
After cool abilities, I always favor raw HPS(and the stat linked with HPS) if the gear is ''similar'' in quality.
HPS are never useless, no matter the situation, they always buy you more time to do whatever you want to do. If a healer choose to heal me the same way he heal a tank while I am by no mean a tank, I am happy and did a great job(althought I may still *poke* the healer and beg for faster heals). I never draw aggro on purpose, except if it is part of my job or to save a healer.

I'm a level 60 druid with cenarion set (druid set) http://www.thottbot.com/?s=cenarion
the set gives almost everything. So to try and get a better gear is not that much when my set
gives all the attribute. I can go feral Balance and Restoration and all will be good.
High end gear are teh best. You can just forget about thinking of what you need to use.
PS @ Anofalye: They give alot more of HPs then any other gear i seen. except for the Stormrage Set
my next goal to get (better then Cenarion) but hard to find. (Onyxia and Ragnaros only drops those)
Dan
Hunter-agi/sta , str does nothing for hunters since you're more powerful with ranged weapons and you want some hps to absorb damage;
warrior-str/sta, just like a paladin you are a damage absorber first, damage dealer second;
Personally I don't think much of spi, int/sta is always useful for any caster and they usually have good mana pools to last even for the tuffest fights, then replenishing mana is fast with a quick drink in between battles or a mana potion will give you an extra boost in an emergency, priests who talent in arcane can give a nice spi buff as well. I see too many casters die quickly because of extremely low hps, even before party members can react to draw off agro.
