For ZG and ZA I suggest 16% hit. not the starter heroics.. it's easily obtainable if they get the majority of the 346 gear and the rep gear from quest and tabors.. maybe you should read my post again :)
For example my Mage is only at 10% hit but I'm not going to put him in ZA and ZG and expect to do well or close to the dps needed to clear the place.. ya he pushes 10-12k but until I get the rest of this gear I'm not going to hold any group back and EXPECT to be carried like most people do now of days.
Now my shadow Priest who has the hit% doesn't push the dps. She pushes 8-9k needs to work on her DPS gear.. I wouldn't bring her to ZA or ZG cause she doesn't quite push the DPS needed for beating the timers.
But both of them beat the DPS of people wearing PVP gear who Blizzard allows in due to the item level requirements.. Had a dk pushing 5k dps YES 5k DPS who I couldn't kick who was all decked out in PVP gear cause " If its enough to let me que for it then its enough that I can do it"
He died at EVERY boss fight, during trash pulls from standing in crap or face pulling, and had a 4 hour to be kicked timer no matter who tried to kick him..... Oh and tried to ninja my damn tank sword lol. " But I'm DW FROST I CAN TANK!"
Bliz really needs to look into fixing timers...

We read your post, it's just factually wrong.
The bosses in ZA and ZG are level 87. The spell miss-chance for level 87 mobs is only 6%. If you have more hit than that, and don't plan on fighting raid bosses (level 88 mobs), you're wasting combat rating that could be reforged to crit/haste/mastery. If you're actively reforging for the raid-boss hit-cap (16%), and don't raid, you fail at understanding simple mechanics that are in your CHARACTER SCREEN tool-tips.
With the amount of primary stats on the iLevel 371 PvP gear, it's actually slightly better than some 346 blue pieces. More so if you're replacing a quest blue (333) because you can't get a bracer upgrade to save your life. That only goes for DPS and, to a lesser extent, healers; tanks value avoidance stats higher than Str and Stam.
I have never seen a level 85 DK try to tank in frost spec or frost presence, although I have seen a few try to DW tank. The lack of a Shield icon on the Frost summary seems to be a big clue for 99.9% of the population.
