This is a subject that is important for the DPS of the guild to understand and to be able to raid successfully.
Being hit capped means that you have enough hit % to not miss your target. This makes +hit the most important stat you can accumulate for every DPS class until they reach their hit cap. Any extra +hit is useless after reaching the cap.
Important Hit Cap %'s
PVP - You need 4% hit to never miss a level 80 Ally
Heroics - You need 6% hit to never miss a level 82 Boss
Raid - You need 17% hit to never miss a level 83 Boss
So how much +hit does it take to make 1% you ask? See this chart http://www.wowwiki.com/...
+Hit is mostly acquired from gear, but can also be acquired from certain elixirs and food.
Also note that some classes have talents that gives hit%. Some even give hit% to the raid group.
In our guild's case Zimzum has the talent http://www.wowwiki.com/... which means as long as he is in your party/raid you get a free 3% hit. So our DPS can shoot for 14% hit instead to be raid hit capped, unless they plan on raiding without me  .
So in conclusion, to maximize our DPS we need to be aware of our hit cap.

About the Zimzum part. I need to make a correction. Shadowpriest talent "Misery" only affects his current target and chance to hit with spells from the raid. I also read it affects poison hit rating.

Yes, poisons are considered spells.

Very informative, thank you Noj. Where does Expertise come in, if any for DPS? I know the higher your expertise, the less chance your enemy has to dodge, deflect, parry..etc.
