Which is the best chest for me (Level 85 Protection Warrior)?

Hey, I have come across these 3 chestplates and I'm not really sure which one is the ultimate best.

1. Battleplate of the Apocalypse

2. Earthen Chestguard (Tier 11)

3. Chestguard of the Molten Giant (Tier 12)

Battleplate of Apoc.

Item level: 359

3426 armor

+239 strength

+512 stamina

2 yellow sockets (+40 mastery rating) (bonus is +20 parry rating)

+173 hit rating (reforged for +69 mastery)

+281 parry rating

Earthen Chestguard (regular)

Item level: 359

+341 strength

+512 stamina

+168 parry rating

+208 mastery rating

1 red 1 blue socket ( bonus is +30 stamina)

Chestguard of Molten Giant:

Item level: 378

+368 strength

+611 stamina

+280 dodge rating

+238 parry rating

1 red and 1 yellow socket (bonus is +30 stamina)

Update:

Stat priority

Stamina=Mastery>Parry>Dodge>Expertise>Strength>Crit

Stamina is an effective survivability stat for increasing total health. It also scales with Vengeance, which helps generate more threat.

Mastery is the most effective secondary survivability stat.

Parry & Dodge share the same diminishing returns, as raw stats alone they are equal. Because of talent Hold the Line, Parry yields a slight advantage.

Expertise & Hit (8%) are the most effective secondary stats for threat generation. Expertise is slightly better until you reduce the chance for your attacks to be dodged.

    Chestguard of the Molten Giant, definetly. 359s can't compare to 378's.
