Hi fellow druids!

I've been resto for a while now, but are speccing feral for guild needs. My tanking gear could use some uppgrades before I'm ready to go to Kara, and I'm thinking that I'll buy PvP bracers as a start. But, the problem is that there are two different bracers, and I don't know what to choose.

or

http://thottbot.com/i33881 Vindicator's Dragonhide Bracers

(Don't know if I'm allowed to link to thottbot, but I'm so used to thottbot, so I'll do it anyway. Tell me if I should change links...)

This is what Vindicator's Dragonhide Bracers gains/loses compared to Vindicator's Leather Bracers:



(in bear form)
204 armor
18ap
- 0,2 dodge
-4stamina (60hp for a bear druid with HotW, I think)
about 0,67 crit chance
2 resilience

My armory: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Burning+Steppes&n=Kitsune

Current stats self buffed in bear form:

1326 ap
54 hit rating
22.59% crit chance
13224 hp
16268 armor
22.27% dodge chance
crit immune (422 defense)

I'm also soon reaching exalted with Cenarion exp. so I'll get Earthwarden and slap on 35 agi, instead of Staff of Beasts.

At the moment I'm thinking that I would like to get more armor, so I'm slightly prefering Dragonhide, but I'd like some advise from more experienced tank druids! :)

Thanks you in advance, and Merry Christmas!



Edit: Linked my armory profile.

As far as stats go, it's a wash; they're only a few points apart by any normal mitigation model.

Since you're starting off fresh into Kara, I'd take the Dragonhide since you're not going to be pushing the armor cap yet.

I would go with Dragonhide, also.
