Plate DPS stats vs Leather DPS stats

Seems like the dev team is unsure of where they want dps classes to match up and differ on gear:

The "primary" stats on dps plate are Str and Stam.

The primary stats on dps leather are AP, Agi and Stam. The reason for this is because putting Str and AP on plate feels goofy -- they are virtually the same stat for plate-wearers. Putting Str, Agi and AP on plate feels bad because Agi does so little for plate-wearers.

A long-term solution is probably something more like itemizing leather with just Agi and Stam, but making sure leather-wearers get enough out of Agi that losing the AP isn't a nerf. The alternative is to make Agi a good state for plate-wearers. We traditionally haven't done that because plate-wearers "feel" like they should be strong, not agile. But that feel may have to lose to making the plate v. leater disparity itself feel better in the long run.

Again, long-term. We're not going to hotfix thousands of items.

Odd though, I seem to remember them changing thousands of item stats before...
