Thank you, but they ALL go in VIT? will I need STR for holding threat? and DEX for block/perry?

There is no need, we have skills that grant/adds enmity. More VIT will leave you with a cushion for error and less stress on healers.

I am a Lvl 29 and have 9 points to put into my stats. As you said Vit, Dex and Str all have factors for tanking. The prob you have is not with threat. You will build threat with your attacks(yes I understand the harder and faster you hit the more threat). You also have to take into account that Dex and Str both play a part in our parry. This is an important part of ensuring we have high mitigation. The more parry you have the less damage you take. Stacking vit is not always the answer and until I get to look at the end game gear I will not know how the stats balance out. Mitigation is more important than a few more health. 500 health is not that great if you can dodge or parry more attacks that may equal a higher amount of damage you would have taken. Your healers will love you when you have a good mitigation build and they don't have to heal you as hard. I will keep you updated as I look at the gear. I have tanked in WOW, RIFT, and SWTOR as a progression tank.
