You've hit upon the crux of the matter. For whatever reason, the majority of agro tanks generate is from their finishers. This is all well and good, until you realize that Warriors have multiple abilities with inherently higher crit chance (35% on Kick, for example) and the ability to force a crit (Myrmidon's Gift). DK's have neither option, and therefore are at a disadvantage in agro generation because of our inferior crit rate.

However, I have noticed that since picking up a full set of the Lucent crit gear that my agro is much more consistent on my DK. All the mitigation in the world is useless if the mob will not stay on you. Once of the things that I am most hopeful for from our revamp is either a triggered crit ability, a high base crit chance ability, or both. Otherwise, we will be the only tank forgoing miti gear in place of crit gear.
