How to Read Warrior Stat Weights
Every item scores the sum of its stats times these weights; the highest score takes the slot on the BiS sheets. Critical Strike and Hit are per 1%, the rest per point, and stats of equal weight are joined with =.
Damage to one spell school (such as +30 Shadow damage) counts as Spell Power in proportion to the share of damage the spec deals in that school, and Spell Penetration as half a point of Spell Power.
