I finally got some new tanking trinkets yesterday, and I'd like some input on whats best to wear on normal heroic 5-man tanking:
Offering of Sacrifice
Indestructible Alchemist's Stone
Valor Medal of the First War
I'm still a bit low on HP (less then 30K unbuffed), so I'm going with alchemist's stone and valor medal. When I get more comfortable HP, or for fights that need extra panic buttons, I will swap alchemist stone for the offering.
Any other thoughts?
(PS: Yes, I know I should get
Essence of Gossamer
)

Because the armor is no longer multiplied and the Use effect on the Offering of Sacrifice has such a long cooldown, it is not worth using it over the other two you have.
If you are above 27-28 K HP unbuffed you should be allright for heroic dungeon tanking. The Alchemist's Stone and the Valor Medal are excellent tanking trinkets. It is not worth, under any circumstances, to swap the Alchemist's Stone for the Offering of Sacrifice.
Another piece of advice I can give you, get some real tanking rings. The easiest to get (probably not the cheapest, but anyway) is a Titanium Earthguard Ring, which offers excellent tanking stats for a bear. Also try and get the Keystone Great Ring from Drak'Tharon. And the next 25 emblems of heroism should definitely go on a Chained Military Gorget. Other than that, you are well geared for HC dungeons.

Have about 29K now, and been tanking heroics since I had 25K or so.
Yep, CMG is next on my buy list, and it took me a few minutes of consideration before I bought the valor medal first.
Still looking for a Titanium Earthguard Ring that isn't too overpriced. I feel that druid tanks really get the shaft on secondary-gear before heroics; there aren't relly any good options for rings and trinkets.
Thanks for your inputs, much appreciated :)

What you consider overpriced? Dragon's eyes go in my realm for about 200g, then there are the other mats plus crafters fee to consider. 1k isn't that expensive considering the mats
Yep, I'd consider 1K a good price on them. Currently, the cheap ones on Ah are going for 1700 though.
