Wowhead and Blizzard have not published a Forever stat-priority guide for these specs yet (checked 29 Oct). The orders below are our read [Unconfirmed], built from the Forever changes listed under each one. We give no stat weights, because none are published. Tested level 60 data: Not yet published, updated at launch.

All three specs: our read [Unconfirmed]

Step	Stat
1	Hit, up to the melee cap (8% per Wowhead's Forever tank guides)
2	Agility / Attack Power
3	Critical Strike
4	Expertise
5	Haste
6	Strength, Stamina

What moves it in Forever

Poisons scale with Attack Power and now stack with Windfury Totem and sharpening stones (Wowhead).
Precision is now 3 points for 3% hit, down from 5 points for 5% (Wowhead). The cap itself is unchanged, so more hit has to come from gear.
Assassination crit: Malice also boosts poison crit, and Cold Blood also works on Mutilate (Wowhead).
Haste: Skyborne's 2% haste puts them level with the other race choices (Wowhead).
