With the addition of this enchant, options for tanks are as follows:

Enchant Cloak - Steelweave = 12 defense rating/5 defense skill (0.2% miss, dodge, block, and parry for a total of 0.6% pure avoidance plus 0.2% chance to block)

Greater Agility still appears to be the best choice for a mixture of survivability and threat generation, but Steelweave most likely beats Dodge for the best defensive option.

Another bonus with this enchant is that it gives you more flexibility when you are wearning alternate gear, eg resistance gear for specific encounters, and need to juggle equipment to stay at or above the defense threshhold (eg 490 for warriors).
