Does the crit reduction from resilience stack with defense rating? If so what percentage of crit reduction is necessary to be immune.

Yes, and your answer is

Hey thanks, thats a cool article. To sum it up you need crit reduction of 5.6% to be immune at level 80. So you can mix in some resilience to reach that level and the PVP gear has a ton of stam.

So what, that it has a ton of stam. Its still much worse than PvE tanking gear. The only thing with resilience a tank should wear is that there shoulder enchant. Beginner bear druid tanks are kinda okay with resil gear, but i really dont see the point to use, or god-forbid
prefer
it on any plate tank.

Obviously you wouldnt choose pvp gear at endgame for raiding. But if you have been ret or holy and are looking for a change and have some pvp gear to make you crit immune its better than getting one shot. Im not talking about 25 man hard modes, just beginning heroics when your having trouble with the def cap.

Resilience offers a quicker way to get crit-immune than defense, but only the crit chance is reduced in PvE. When you factor in the other effects of defense, defense becomes better even on a DK (who can't block). If you take the amount of avoidance you could get with the extra rating from choosing resilience over defense, it would be significantly less than 140 defense skill (the raiding cap).
So...yes, you can. No, you shouldn't.

No such thing as a defense cap, in any way shape or form.

To counter-nitpick, it is laughable to suggest that anyone could ever possibly come close to even dreaming of the defense cap in absolutely any gear.

^ This.
Defense value also contributes to your %'s to Dodge, Block, Parry, and be missed. If you're gearing for heroics and have time to chase down PvP gear, why not chase down PvE gear instead?

The question was already answered and you guys miss the point. Say for the sake of argument your at 520 defense from gear youve been picking up along the way as a ret dps greeds and &*!@ that just came your way. You have also been pvping and managed to get some glad gear, now you want to try tanking for the nice instant queues but your not quite crit immune from def rating. Will a piece of resilience gear stack with defense to make you uncrittable so your not one shotted? The answer was yes. Nuff said.
