You need 535 Defense. when you look at your character tab, without hovering over it, it should say Defense: xxx with a number that's 535 or higher.
Remember with the Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle, that's 25 defense (comparable to about 125 defense rating at 80).
Just to emphasize, what you need is to reduce your chance to be crit by 5.4% for heroics, and 5.6% for raids. This was why people could substitute in resilience gear if they didn't make the uncrit cap by defense alone (though pvp gear is nowhere near as good as defense gear, as you get no avoidance from it). Druids in BC, before SotF gave crit immunity, actually wore PvP gear since the AGI on it gave better avoidance than defense on top of the stamina that pvp pieces give.

535 defense lowers your chance to be crittacaly hit by 5,4% this chance has a heroic boss to crit you, so lower it by 5,4% no chance to crit you :) makes healer and you more happier
in raids where are raids boss you need to lower crit chance by 5,6% because boss has blah blah blah ..... :)
in short:
same level mob as u (SLMU) crit chance=5%
SLMU +1 level crit chance = 5,2%
SLMU +2 level crit chance = 5,4%
SLMU +3 level crit chance =5,6%

Ow you need to be defcapped to tank heroics? Thanks for the news, tanked loads of heroics and Nax10 without it.
:p
on a more serious note.
for raids its standard defence(80(level)*5) +140defence to get rid of the 5.6% critchange a raidbos has so 400+140=540
It's 5.4% for a lv82 bos so that's 0.2% that we can take of means 400+135=535 defence needed.
At lv90 it wil be 5*90+140=590 defence :p.

Well, it's not an absolute must-have you-won't-live-one-second-without-it thing, but I'm sure that most tanks don't want to have to apologize for that last boss wipe because they got critted three times in a row, even if the odds of that are one in a million.
You'd be surprised how many one-in-a-million chances kick people up the arse.
Edit: Unless you're a feral druid, obviously. >.>

Well, I don't know about the "three crits in a row" thing, but in heroics, most bosses hit a lot harder. When I was tanking DTK before I was defense capped, we wiped cos I had to eat a ~10k crit from Dred. Getting a third of your health taken away in one shot is a little new to me, that's for sure. I tanked in BC for almost a year, and the hits were never that bad.

I know people want to nitpick. it's the internet. it gives them wood.
Just get uncrittable.
If you're not and you wipe, guess who they'll blame?
