My Char sheet:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Azuremyst&n=Ghfraek
I'm working on getting the tier 7 gloves for the 60 emblems.
Should I bother with the Dodge trinket or just go for one of the new ones like the one is H VH or AN for the 111+ stam which i want to replace the 70 trinket i got, ya i know still a 70 trinket but its holding out for the time being.
other then that i know its all about stacking stam at this point while staying at the defense rating I got.
plz let me know what you think, I dont consider myself that great of a pally still lots of fights to learn but have made some really great progression in WotLK then when I lvl'd my pally in BC.
thx in advance

ok another thing is, where should I be aiming for my avoidance I got it up to 80% with holy shield active..
and about the 70 Trinket I am replacing it of course, last thing i bought was the tier 7 chestpiece for the 3% more block,
I dont have the huge guild for raiding but I do OT naxx like one every couple of weeks or a few even, but I have learned a good portion of the quarters and even completed the four horseman with another tankadin b4 they gave us our single target taunt.
and about buying tier stuff with badges, as i stated I cant run naxx every time its available to me, and upgrade is an upgrade specially if I use my badges for them, i'll doing heroic with the dps that i got in guild to get them better for the time being let alone the 1 healer we got that just reached the minimal stats required to do the starting heroics (Still gotta take her through some).
Thx smiley and spider for replying, i'll definatly be running H VH and AN for those Trinkets, and probably should have enough to buy the emblem one by the end of the day
oh and I'll also check out the gloves in G. Drak if they are better then those rep ones, cause I already got Exalted with Kirin Tor, Now it's Argent crusade for the helm chant

Okay, a few things...
ok another thing is, where should I be aiming for my avoidance I got it up to 80% with holy shield active..
To clarify terms -
Avoidance = attacks which do not hit at all - Miss + Dodge + Parry
Mitigation = attacks which do not do full damage - Miss + Dodge + Parry + Block
Your current gear gives you about 47.3% avoidance, and about 89.2% mitigation with Holy Shield active. As for a target number, there isn't one - different fights call for different gear sets. Try to gather pieces that will allow you to push that avoidance number as high as possible (50% is a good start, 55% isn't a bad goal right now) and to cap out your mitigation (102.4% m/d/p/b).
tbh tier 7 is a waste of badges
just get the neck trinket and the libram
there are glove from gundrak or the glove from the kin'tori exalted are far better
Nonsense.
The H Gundrak gloves are a downgrade from both T7 and the Kirin'tor exalted piece, as they're very poorly itemized for a tankadin. T7 and Kirin'tor are about even when it comes to avoidance, and the socket gives T7 the stamina edge. The T7 bonuses are nice as well.
The dodge trinket is really, really nice. I use it, currently, and I don't think I'd ever want to get rid of it. However, at the same time, the shield block trinket in VH is beautiful. The stam trinket in AN is decent, and definately great for boosting your health, but I prefer avoidance and mitigation first. 25-26k health is just fine for me.
Dead on. The Valor Medal is currently the best avoidance trinket in the game and you'll use it a lot. Personally, I find that I often use avoidance trinkets rather than stamina - and I'm a JC with a Monarch Crab. Lavanthor's Talisman is a huge reason why a tankadin should grind H VH.
Looking at your gear, I'd spend my emblems on the trinket first, then the gloves, then the neck.
You're gearing very well. Main tanking 10 mans isn't an issue. You can probably handle most 25 man content. And the great part? You've got a lot of obvious and easy upgrades available.

well T7 glove gives quite low def rating and its actually pretty hard to make up when u need to consider other gears, yes it might give more stam but then again my personal opinion is t7 is crap compare to nonset epic, only t7.5 have some value stat wise.
...
ps run heroic stath and pinnacle for the red sword of courage and the lordaeron sheild
they are the best u can get, better than naxx10 tank shield and sword drop(my personal opinion)
So... let's see if I have this straight...
T7 gloves w/ Enduring Forest Emerald gives up 2 defense for 5 dodge and a nice threat bonus from the set compared to the Kirin'tor rep piece. This is "pretty hard to make up".
T7 gloves w/ Enduring Forest Emerald gives up 2 defense for 43 dodge and a nice threat bonus from the set compared to the H Gundrak drop. This is "pretty hard to make up."
and yet, you champion the Royal Crest of Lordaeron, which gives up 15 defense rating to the Titansteel Shield Wall for... 6 stamina? And the Royal Crest is the worst mitigation shield of the early epics?
Give us this day our daily inconsistency.

However there are difference in servers, our server we pug everything except 25man eternal eye, so gear is not that hard to come by. If i was a raid leader i would take him as off tank for all the 25mans with his gear
just difference on opinion i feel

The Lordaeron(sp) Shield is not even close to the best pre-25 shield. The shield off of Grobulus is absolutely amazing for threat and mitigation(block rating, and awesome block value for your SotR). The CoS shield is a good option for a tank that is having trouble reaching the cap, but far from the best.
