For warriors, this is a better choice for 'dps' than the Bright Living Ruby (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=24031); solely because the strength bonus adds to the total block amount when you are required slap on a shield and tank.
X = [(Shield block value) + ((Strength / 20) - 1)].
Straight attack rating does not provide anything but AP itself.
8 Str = 16 AP regardless.
True, one should always get the gem from halaa before getting ths, however, those are unique
Spawn I believe he was referring to pure DPS warriors who occasionally have to offtank in their DPS gear, in which case strength gems provide more of a benefit than pure attack power gems. Considering pure AP gems give the same AP as strength... and Blessing of Kings benefits strength and not pure AP... the choice should be obvious.
