is my armory link. I know that I need to pick up glyph of rune strike, and I will do that the next time I log on. Other than that, I would appreciate any feedback that you all can give me. I am new to tanking (last time I tanked was Wotlk when any spec could tank, and I tanked as frost then) and I enjoy constructive criticsm.
I am looking for information on how I can improve via talents, glyphs, enchanting, reforing, gemming, and overall gearing. If it helps at all, I tank soley in heroics right now...I am not raiding at all.
Thank everyone in advance.

Some of your talent build is a little off. I also if not mistaken believe that the Lichborn Tank Spec is dead now.
Whats with all the +strenght/? gems? You have a dps gem in your relic. I would also think that mastery/stam would be better to stack then the Solid Stam Gems. Just to give your blood shield a better boost.
Also if your going to use the +hit trinket then reforge the hit into some tank stats. Your also need to enchant your Helm and Shoulders.

Thank you, I am working on the rep for the shoulder enchants. I will change my talent spec after I log back on today. The relic I have to use for both my specs right now. I am looking into getting a new one very soon. I wasnt sure wether to stack +Stam or +stam/mastery, so I went with the cheaper on at the time. What %hit should I be aiming for as a tank? Or is that not a huge issue? I wasnt sure, so thats why I didnt reforge the trinket.
If there is anything else I can do to better my character, please post. :)

The Hit is for more of a comfort thing. its only a number that should be gone for if your having issues with threat. (Do to attacks missing) Nothing is worse then a taunt missing and causing a wipe.
Same goes for Exp. its more of a threat stat. Which is commented own in the guide.
Also don't change from the lichborn spec. Wait for someone that plays there Dk full time to discuss why. I think it was killed with the last patch changes to there gylphs that were used. I have always tanked with the other spec myself.

Lichborne spec isn't 'dead' but it's usefulness has been cut roughly in half. I never used it, considering how many cooldowns we already have I didn't find it necessary.

I do like have the extra CD for when that one thing doesnt work right. I have had a few circumstances where it has prevented a wipe in a heroic. But since I have gotten better gear, I have found it less and less needed. I may just drop it and go for morbidity or something.

Same here.
Using Lichborne is still viable, but the number of Death Coil heals you can give yourself has been reduced.
The reworked glyph
no longer refunds RP for healing yourself. You can still give yourself a potentially life-saving heal or two if you have RP to spend.
