This is exactly what I was looking for. Just rolled a second Druid, first one was Resto/Balance, and needed to find tanking info. Do you have a follow up for this post and if so could you post it in the comments so we can access it easy? Great post! This is exactly what I was looking for.

I'm an aspiring beartank that's doing her research before getting planning out my character. I was wondering if you could share some wisdom on the kinds of enchants that will make life better on the way up to 80. I'm told that when you make your attacks as a Bear/Kitty, you don't actually attack with your weapon, but instead with a modified "Claw" weapon that you automatically have max proficiency in. Bearing that in mind, (HA! Totally unintentional.) does that mean the enchants on our weapons are relegated to stat-stick-hood? Thanks! Hello Big Papa Bear!

However, while leveling, if you want to try content that is intended for higher levels, then the reduced crit chance helps. Don't know if it would make it more valuable than other stats, but it still benefits more than just dodge chance. Great post, should keep it bookmarked for the next time I roll a Druid… :)
