Well said Bockscar, So where do you think i would get the most out of this toon if say i never planned on raiding and it's just a casual fun alt to solo/group with, would it be into Str like snaggles suggested?
If you're completely certain that you're never going to do any endgame stuff, strength would help you the most. It's less about the damage and more about encumberance, because while there's lots of strength gear, the tradeable strength gear isn't normally well-suited for tanks because it doesn't have high AC or HP. If it's an erudite, you can't even wear small banded/bronze; so if you made an erudite SK and put no points in strength, a suit of bronze armor alone would basically put you at your weight limit.

If you do think that you might one day progress from casual alt to endgame character, stamina is the safer bet. It's a little bit overrated for hybrids since you're unlikely to be tanking actual raid bosses, but it's still the only stat that really affects how well you perform your job. By that point, you should have enough strength to not worry about encumberance, and none of the other stats besides stamina will have any impact whatsoever on how you perform as a tank.

Just remember to put five points into agility so it's 75.
