"I have a question here. I am noticing that AGI is often put into the "random stat that doesn't really matter" pile. Is this true? I thought AGI made our avoidance higher. Should a tank spec not be focusing on getting some good AGI behind them? Does the answer change if you are a Dark Elf which has a naturally higher AGI than other SK friendly races?"

A. The answer is debateable.. The pile that i have it in, Is due to where it is in the way of stats given according to the Class Set progression. In view I hold AGI better then WIS, for the avoidence part. But I personally Hold INT of more value then AGI.. But that is the debatable part that many are split on.

B. Not realy

"I have been feeling like my tanking has begun to slip since I started focusing more on INT, and I want to be sure I am undertanding my stats correctly. I had thought that maybe it was due to sacrificing AGI for INT."

With More INT you should have better Aggro Management, With More AGI you will be hit less due to avoidence gains. With Going INT I focus on Grave blessings and Taps first then, Taunts/DPS. Try that out see where you land.

"If I decide to go the route of two sets of armor (seems like maybe I should) would the Tank set focus on AGI as well? Some of the posts seem to indicate that would not be the case.

Thanks!"

Soley up to you.. I recommend two sets one DPS and One Tanking, that way when not tanking you can still contribute to the group or raid. Plus you can get a better grasp on both ends.

"Do you folks feel the mit of the Di'zok gear makes up for the loss of int, ca and spell dmg modifiers of incardine? I actually feel the two sets are fairly close"

I think the two sets are realy similar as well.. Though I have been using Dizok for tanking For the Mit gains, to keep my INT. The base resists and Mit are higher overall to incardine. Group wise i still do not have trouble keeping aggro against (Most) People... Some on the other hand just push it *cough* brigands.
