I just tried a sweeping strikes prot build and I love it. I lose devastate, but when it comes down to it, it's a filler ability and I gain much more benefit from the additional multi target damage. In addition I lose vitality, but in it's place I gain improved commanding shout which with my gear is only a difference of 200 hp (provided I keep the buff active). Not to mention I also get imp. demo shout, weapon mastery, piercing howl and imp. cleave.

Nice I haven't personally tried that build but sometimes picking a guild that works for you is the way to go !
If you change 1 of the gems in your belt with rec, your def capped
8% is the hit cap, any more is pointless. Either way, Hit isnt as important as expertise.
Expertise is definitely a very valuable stat it's a double dip on dodge & parry !
