So I can tank ToC10 and ToC25 well enough and anything lower is easy but I walked into ToGC10 the other night and Gormok handed me my
...
on a silver platter.
Any tips or insights on which spec to be running for that instance? Currently I am blood but he hit me for about 45k in the span of 2 seconds.
My Armory
I also have the
black heart
and one of the
brewfest trinkets
if I'm not currently wearing them on armory.

Thank you for the insights, I am most definitely wearing the stam trinkets when I'm doing the higher raids, the trinkets I had on in my armory was because I was running heroics and my 62 gf through some lower level instances.
I got some indestructible pots, gonna replace my gems, MoB is kinda a point filler /shrug.
I may try frost, any unholy dks out there that have tanked ToGC and have any input?
(as an edit, the only reason i'm using hit and exp gems is because swapping them out for pure stam would only net me 42 more stamina. I guess 420 hp before buffs is good but i figured not missing and not being dodged was more important since im neither hit nor exp capped)
(Edit 2: Would
this?
Be a better blood spec?

If you have 26 expertise or more without it, go dodge. Or, get the regal dreadstone I believe it's called... +dodge/stamina.

you know if you really want an answer you should have recorded the logs and go through em to see what went wrong.
it could be having the impale stack to high, not using cd (appropriate), healers not cutting it (be it their not good enough, there is to much raid dmg bc casters fail at moving from fire, dps fail on getting snobolds of healer or they not sure who to heal bc you don't communicate well enough with em).
lastly everyone says your geared enough and you are if the setup is right, with that i mean if you missing stam buff, bok, (motw), commanding shout (and flask, i hope you using it on progression, but you never know these days) you not ready for it. luckily most of these can be covered now with consumable so get em
i wouldn't go change your spec now in 3 hurries, as that's not the problem and if anything will cause even more trouble bc you have to adjust (if you go frost that is) to it then
also 45k hp in 2 seconds of which the largest bulk is predicatable is not really that special and should be easily healed through, tell your healers to get DBM if they don't and time a big heal 0.5-1 sec after impale is to land and get some hots rolling on you and a priest shield if at all possible prior to that to soften the blow somewhat. also time your skills accordingly, threat should be a non issue as dps has to go on snobolds, so make sure you got blade barrier and diseases up and use a ds (and a runetap if you have it and it's off cd) right as impale lands to give you a cushion to survive that white hit before that big heal(s) land(s).
doing this with your example you could have healed yourself for 30% of max hp or 13.5khp in those 2 seconds, potentially saving your life.
anyway don't give up and sort it out, you'll get there eventually
