T9 will be a bigger upgrade over T7.5 than mutilation over corrupter although going from a red to a yellow socket is a bit of a pain

So i have enough triumph emblems to buy the feral tank idol, which im wondering if its better than my idol of the corruptor, and worth taking instead of upgrading my t7.5 shoulders to t9.
Any word on wether or not the feral idol is better than corruptor, or should i just get my t9?
Mutilation is the BiS feral idol. Whether you should go with t9 or the idol I'm not sure. I made the choice recently, and chose the idol.

Take a good look at these two latex pieces:
Runetotem's Shoulderpads of Conquest
vs
Valorous Dreamwalker Shoulderpads
Differences? Including socket bonuses, T9 offers 17 more agility, some more ArP and haste (1.83%). T7 offers 1.09% crit.
On the other hand, take a look at these:
Idol of Mutilation
vs
Idol of the Corruptor
As
windstrum
said, the Idol of Mutilation is BiS for feral Tanking (and DPS as well). My advice: buy the Idol of Mutilation. It offers much more than the 17 agility you gain with T9 (lvl 232) over T7 (lvl 213).

Actually I was told Multilation is not really good for feral tanking and that Corrupter is about equal.
Agility is superior to dodge rating for us, right? Factor in stat boost and BoK and they both end up being quite similar.
Only for dps the Mutilation idol is clearly superior. I bought it for tanking and regret that decision now.
But I wouldn't recommend the tier shoulders either. The set bonus is pretty crappy for tanking anyway, why not take
Duskstalker Shoulderpads
for 45 emblems instead? In those you can also safely ignore the yellow socket bonus and put pure stamina in.

I would hold out for the 45 emblem shoulders instead also. I regret buying the reg T9 shoulders (didn't notice the 45 emblem one). I ended up getting a ring upgrade for 35 emblems after, and just got the idol today for 25. If your rings are bad, like mine were (ilvl 213) i would save for the ring first because its cheap at only 35 emblems, and is ilvl 245 which is a big jump.

The rings are pretty nice, true, but I'm not sure if I'd really want them. The problem is that for tanking neiter the tanking rings nor the dps rings are really great. Agility on the dps rings offers so much more but they lack stamina and the itemization on tank rings is totally aweful for Druids. For me at least the ilvl 245 rings would be a surprisingly small update in stats (and I'm still using one ilvl 200 ring!).

Small update in stats? O_o
Compare
Keystone Great-Ring
with
Clutch of Fortification
I don't know about you, but I definitely see an upgrade there. And
Dexterous Brightstone Ring
is much better than the Keystone as well.
Band of the Twin Val'kyr
is also a damn solid tanking piece :O

i got idol first since i was planning to get it for cat anyways.
so far the grizzly hills idol got shafted threat isnt really an issue and id rather have a bit more dodge during large trash packs.
now for corruptor vs mutilation im not to sure which would be better tanks PoV but im leaning towards corruptor
bit more threat trough crit etc and still decent avoidance
im getting the clutch ring next i find T9 bit lackluster for tanking

Of cause there is an upgrade. Keystone to Clutch is basically +40 stamina which is nice. But that's still not really much for ilvl 200 to ilvl 245 ... and all that str / def rating is kind of useless to us. Keystone ring is just waaaaay better itemized for Druids then Clutch. Clutch is better, yes - but not even close to what it could be. Imagine an ilvl 245 ring with the same stats (but scaled) as Keystone ... that would be so awesome, the ring could have like 150 stamina on it.
