Am I geared to start ToCr? I've been getting good compliments on my DPS for my gear, and I'm also getting tired of farming emblems lol.
Armory.
Also, if not, then what should I be improving on? I know my haste is prolly nothing special. Any feedback at all is appreciated. :D
(In advance, I apologize for making another "am i geerd lolz?" thread, but I'm confused if I'm quite ready for it.)

Go to wow-heroes.com and see what it says.

Assuming you were with a well geared, experience group it might be okay but IMO you're not geared enough for Trial of the Crusader.

I was hoping for something a tad more constructive tbh, considering WoW-Heroes says my Hunter isn't geared for ToCr 25 and yet he gets in the top 5 DPS every time.

This is much more helpful. Any ideas on what I should improve?

You're over hit cap, so drop a point out of Arcane Focus and put it into Arcane Stability; also drop two points out of Student of the Mind and lose Slow. That frees up 3 points to throw into Incanter's Absorption.
With 3/3 Incanter's Absorption, make good use of your Fire Ward and Frost Ward spells, and be sure to make not-so-subtle hints to priests that you would like a Power Word: Shield every now and again.
Head, shoulders, wrist, hands, legs, and feet all need enchanted. You can step up your enchants on your chest and dagger. If you can afford it, get epic gems to replace your blues.
Taking those steps will up your DPS, though I'm not sure you'd be quite ready for ToCr.
Here's you according to default settings on Rawr right now: 6179
Here's you according to the suggested changes on Rawr: 6623
You won't get anywhere close to those numbers without absolutely ideal conditions, but it's an idea. If you can score around 4500 DPS, you should be ready for ToCr.

Well everyone I can say I appreciate the feedback very much. As for my avg DPS Bani, sitting at about 4.2k or so, occasionally pushing 5k.
You're over hit cap, so drop a point out of Arcane Focus and put it into Arcane Stability; also drop two points out of Student of the Mind and lose Slow. That frees up 3 points to throw into Incanter's Absorption.

I probably should've mentioned earlier that I'm using honor for PvP gear atm, though I can more than likely get a few epic gems going. As for enchants, the slots that aren't enchanted (Also should've mentioned) I'm gathering the mats for. My main's an enchanter. The slots that are enchanted, however, I'd prefer to keep cheap. Still need epic flying and saving for a 245 BoE.
Now as for the over hit cap thing, I'm a bit over cap, yeah. But I always prefer being a -tad- over cap, so I can handle losing a piece of gear with hit on it for something without it a bit better. Also, I know Incanter's Absorption is a good talent, but losing Slow and SotM would drop my already slightly low mana regen (I have been having a few issues) and it'd make TtW nearly useless, unless I start using FFB. Unless there's something about that I'm unaware of. o.O
If you know the fight, you might be able to do 10man reg toc.
But, why dont u do 10VoA, 5man toc, 10man Ony to collect some items first?
Your items are mostly ilvl200. If you dont know the fights for 10man toc, some ppl might complain your item level for sure.
5 ToC doesn't have any upgrades anymore for me, along with Heroic (The cloak would drop my haste :/ ). However, I'm farming VoA and Ony as much as I can.
Your stats look appropriately balanced (could use some haste) but now comes the big kicker, what's your GS? A 4.1k GS should do fine in 10 ToC. Keep running VoA though, lots of good gear to be had.
What site/system/program would provide my GS? (Oh God don't let it be math intensive D: )
No.
Could be a tad more constructive. :S

Wrong. Putting Slow up on a boss is a waste of mana and a GCD. Every tank who knows what he's doing will put up a debuff on the boss that will activate TTW. Warriors have Thunderclap, Paladins have Judgements of the Just, Death Knights have Improved Icy Touch, and Druids have Infected Wounds. If you have a guild tank who isn't spec'd into these aforementioned talents (exluding Warriors, as every Warrior has TC), then hit them over the head and tell them to respec until they are.
EDIT: Actually, after looking at Icy Touch again, a DK tank doesn't 'need' Imp. Icy Touch to activate your TTW, but the extra 6% melee speed slow effect is really nice.
^ This. Slow is a PvP talent and nothing more. At the very least, lose it and put the point into IA. You'll thank me later.

I didn't know that tank talents/skills contributed toward TtW, now I have a good reason to go get IA. :D Thanks for the info.
Edit: I came into some luck in an Ony run, and tomorrow I should have a T9 piece (May or may not save more Triumph emblems) along with the 245 ring that comes as a reward for the head. Could this make a difference?
