An interesting critique of K/9 from fangraphs: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/james-shields-and-using-k/. Paraphrasing, you can have a really good K/9 but awful ERA/WHIP if you give up lots of hits and walks, but also strike out everyone who you don't walk or let hit you (e.g. James Shields). So maybe it is time that fangraphs modified FIP/WAR to take this into account?
This is also relevant to these posts
