I just hit 80 3 days ago worked to get the gear I have now. Thought it was time to do a heroic after I hit the 22k unbuffed hp and 537 def. As we started I told the group " k guys this is my first heroic I have tanked on this toon so anyone mind if we take it slow?" The healer at this point tells me I need 540 def to be uncritable. I could swear that it was only 535 for heroics. My main question, is my gear good enuff to start tanking heroics? my armory has me in blood for some reason but as it stand I just got off and my hp in frost is 23,541.

Any help you can give me on what I should fix would be really helpful and thank you in advance.

you are correct, 535 is for heroics, this is because the highest level mob in the instance will be the 82 bosses.
the reason for a 540 cap is for when you do raids and have lvl 83 bosses. you dont need that extra 5 def skill in a heroic because of the mobs max level means they are less likely to crit you, which also means you need less def than in a raid.
you can tell the priest this so they understand a little better what 540 means vs a 535 cap.
