If you are using a two handed weapon, or 1 mainhand weapon, IE not dual wielding, then you have a 5% chance to miss on an equal level target. If you are dual wielding then you have a 24% chance to miss. thus the need for tons of hit with rogues, dual wielding shaman, and Fury warriors. hunters, im not sure if your bow counts as a 2h for hit % purposes but i always assumed so simply because you cannot use any other weapon while holding your bow (shooting, not equiped on your character).
Also you will always have a 1% chance to miss no matter how much +hit you have. this is for dual wielding. im not sure on 2handers or single wielding. this means you will no longer see effects after a certain +hit rating.
16 hit = 1% increased chance to hit same level target.
5% base chance to hit.
16 x 18 = 288.
23% chance to hit achieved for rogues at least.
this is why you will not see any respectable rogue with more than 300 hit. the effects are tapered to nonexistence after about 300 because boss mobs are factored as lvl 73. i read somewhere that this raises your chance to miss up to 24.6% but im not sure so i wont say yay or nay on that. EITHER WAY, 288 hit would be the highest id go simply because with that much +hit, you have no doubt sacrificed quite a bit of your other core stats to get your rating that high.
+hit gives 40% more dps from white damage then +crit does, on a point for point basis UNTILL 288 HIT RATING. after that, your wasting your time, in my opinion. as to the previous poster, id like to see a rogue in ANY guild with 1500+ ap, 250+ hit rating, and 27+ crit, that DOESNT have shit for stamina. in Gruuls, endurance is key. if you cant take the hits, you cant dps. being dead makes all your +hit and +crit worthless.
i am not the end all be all of information, so get out there and see what items are available to you and work with what you can get. for all intensive purposes:

Not "god gear" in the slightest. a few raid items, and the rest is from heroics, rep, or crafted.
My crit is lacking but with time comes items and with items comes better itemization.
