THIS GUIDE HAS BECOME OUTDATED. PLEASE REFER TO
http://www.wowhead.com/?forums&topic=55579
.
--------------------
There are 2 sections, Mid-Level (Preparing to tank heroics) and Pre-Raid (Using Heroics/Crafted to prepare for Naxx).
Some of the Pre-Raid items are from crafting, so I included easier alternatives to obtain (In the mid-level section) while crafters gather mats/level up their skills.
I'm welcome to any criticism/missed items.
Thanks go to Greyturtle for letting me look over his warrior spreadsheet and discussing relevant gear.

I'm trying to fathom how you could think a link to Google Docs could be a password harvester. I am trying very hard to remain civil here, but you people really need to stop with the kneejerk "keylogger!" accusations. The document contains links to Wowhead entries. It is completely harmless.

Its not a keylogger ... I don't think it's even possible to store an exe as a google docs file.
If you're paranoid that's fine I guess, but it's just a gear list that I've put together for myself I thought others would like to see for themselves. I'll even be nice and reformat the entire post so you won't have to worry about google infecting your PC's.

As adashiel stated, Avalonia is completely wrong. I don't know what software you're using to detect spyware Avalonia but it's defective and you should throw it in the trash.
docs.google.com is not a keylogger site. Pretty rediculous... Next thing you know it'll tell you google.com is a keylogger.
If you're so scared about keyloggers go and order a blizzard authenticator hardware device (only $6.50) and you won't have to live in fear anymore. Do a search on it so I don't have to put in a link that'll be called a keylogger.
Back to more intelligent topics - thanks for the gear list Darkpower!

Thanks for this list, bookmarked for later!

My apologies it seems to just be a coincidence and I must have clicked on another link at about the same time. I used to be a skeptic when it came to key logger claims, but after I got hacked I am way to cautious.

For those of you curious to know how these items look when combined, I've put them in the item comparison tool to have a look and thought I'd share.
The items grouped on the left are the Pre-Heroic items the OP lists, less the alchemist's stone, because I'm pretty sure there will be DKs that are not rolling alchemy. The right comparison is for the Pre-Naxx items listed by the OP, again, less the alchemist's stone.

Thanks for mentioning the trinkets. That was a pretty big omission on my part (My DK is planned to be a Alch)
I added trinkets to each section (3 for the first, 5 for the second) & its more complete now. The trinkets from normal instances are scarce so without JC or Alch you might need to use a green from a quest or something similar for a while.
I've added a similar list to my original post with the updated trinkets with credit to you :)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't dual weilding offer better TPS as compared to 2h tanking? I mean DW offers faster wep swings for a higher crit to hit ratio (not 100% on this yet) which can be used to maximize
Killing Machine
for more frost spell crits. DW also offers faster white damage for a minute boost in TPS.
Any thoughts?

So I def. could be wrong but I thought that DK could not use Maces?
You are definately wrong, dude.
DKs use 1h Maces, Swords, and Axes. They also use 2h Maces, Swords, and Axes. They are capable of weilding either a 2h weapon or dual weilding - though most go with a 2h.
you forgot polearms

Dual-Wield "might" provide higher TPS once our gear is better. But until then our hit is too low to make DW scale very well, %weapon damage attacks are weaker, and we provide more opportunities for the boss to parry. You do get more procs, which is very nice, but the math is still being done to see which is better so I'm honestly unsure atm.
P.S. I have a midterm approaching tomorrow so I'll update the list when I feel I'm ready for my test, but I'll be adding weapons shortly.

I guess we'll just have to see! Hahaha!

I added weapons into each section. There are now 3 choices for the first (1 axe, 1 mace, 1 sword) and 2 choices for the second (1 Mace, 1 Axe). The weapons are in the consolidated list as well.
