Everything else has haste (which lets face it, is waaaaaay far down on our stat priorities)
I love haste.
I love stamina and agility more, but haste is damned nice for threat generation.
And yes, being able to generate threat is pretty important. Only times it isn't too important is if you have rogues to support you, or you have crap dps.
More haste = more mangles during berserk, more mauls, and more lacerates.
Anyway, moving on.
Welcome to druid tanking itemization, especially with set gear.
Sometimes there's a really nice item that screams feral tanking gear, but not often. Mostly you'll just have to get used to wearing gear that feels like its suitable for rogues.
Don't even get me started on tanking weapons...

what really disturbs me is that T9 only has 1 item with expertise rating

Haste doesn't reduce the GCD for melee, so false
my point exactly

As Darango said, Hood of the Exodus is also a damn nice tanking piece. The Ulduar10 you had Guise of the Midgard Serpent, which lowered your hp a bit but increased everything else. In Ulduar25 you had Garona's Guise, but that dropped from Yoggy so ...
Now the tier helmet is finally worth getting for tanking :) If my shoulders weren't still T7.5, the tier helmet would be the first thing I buy.
And my apologies for the lack of links. Feeling a bit lazy atm :p

Only partly false. Haste = more mauls since maul replaces the auto attack which gets faster with haste. And since maul is our main threat generator this should actually be quite good.
Of cause it's nowhere near agility or stamina ... but it isn't useless at least.
The way I see the whole gear thingy: We have awesome abilities that lift our stats from badly itemized dps gear to super-tanking ones. If we had perfectly itemized tanking gear then bears would be totally overpowered. Imagine proper tanking gear with lots of item points spent on stamina and agility and not much else ... every bear would be running around with 60k hp and 50% avoidance (unbuffed). Giving us only dps gear keeps us balanced ;)

he meant with more haste you can either maul faster or auto attack faster which generates rage quicker which means you can mangle/lacerate more often with the excess rage
yeah nm in the form of tanking weapons, only 2 off the top of my head are origin of nightmares and furious gladiator's greatstaff
