whats more important: table%, depth mm, depth%?

[denverappraiser]

Umm. None of the above? For my own purposes I would rank the top 10 as shape, price, weight, lab, cut, color, clarity, symmetry, fluoresence and polish, more or less in that order. None of those 3 even makes the list.

Not sure exactly what you mean. However, if you are asking in relation to a diamond's cut, then it depends on what diamond shape (round brilliant, princess, oval, etc.) you are thinking of getting.

Once you have decided on which diamond shape you like, then you can start whittling down other factors that are most important to you.

Im talkin aside from the 4 c's and what not....Its a princess cut diamond

See Neil's answer.

They are only indirectly relevant to a princess cut's optical performance - though excessive depth will not be a good thing in terms of how large the diamond looks in comparison to others. However, you can get that piece of information more directly and reliably by looking at size.
