It seems that there is a pretty easy "fix" if you will for the complaints of PvP and PvE - just transfer most of the dodge % in the Tiki strength set into hit %. Strictly from a specing standpoint, pure strength should be a viable build and should have 100% hit with a pure strength bear. Doing so would end the dodge complaints in PvP and let bears hold aggro more effectively in PvE.
I'd have to support Ellyidol's calls for raising the minimum requirements - perhaps to as high as 50% - so at level 70 if you were to have 50% of your stats in dex and 50% in str, you could equip it; otherwise if you had say, 40%/60% it wouldn't work. Percentages too have not been implemented - they probably should be but it never really happened.
Finally balance should be around end-game first then twinks. End game should always be a destination, although most of the changes produced here shouldn't lead to one class being more OP than they already are.
