Stat weights (PvE)

defense 1.4, Stamina 1, dodge 0.9, hit 0.8, parry 0.8, block 0.6, spell power 0.6, block value 0.5, Holy Damage Done 0.5, Strength 0.4, Intellect 0.3, Bonus Armor 0.1, armor 0.1.

Every item is scored with the spec's stat weights, for what the class can wear at that level (armour and weapon skills come from the Forever client, so Hunters and Shamans get mail at 40 and Warriors and Paladins plate at 40). Untouched Season of Discovery leftovers are left out.
