The cap is based on the level of the mob you are fighting - you need more hit to hit a level 83 mob than a 73 mob! I personally don't like banking on having certain class buffs in the raid/group at the time, so I usually aim for the talented cap. Especially if you will be running 10 mans, where a guarantee of having a Balance Druid and a Shadow Priest is unlikely. However, some people are quite comfortable with this, especially if they are running with a stable 25 man group. Ath pretty much covered it for me there vlad re. hit :-).

No longer do we have oodles of health compared to every other class, and LIfe Tap is not the big deal it used to be. I think they brought the Spirit buff in simply because we are sharing gear with Mages and Priests these days. I'm a bit confused with your hit cap figures. My net nanny prevents me looking up most things while I'm at work, but hit cap used to be 202 hit, didn't it? I know they got rid of the 1% miss, so that would mean needing 17% hit, or 214 hit in other words. 446? did things get changed when Wrath came out?
