So, I have been very busy with gearing up for heroics. I have finally raised my def rating to 491. But, I am curious if the other stats will stand the test.
Here is my armory link if anyone is interested in seeing my gear.
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Cenarion+Circle&n=Crazycalf
Base stats (unbuffed)
Talents: 8-7-46
Base Health: 12,279
Armor: 15,239
Defense: 491
Dodge Rating: 10.41%
Parry: 10.77%
Block 15.64%
Resilience 106
I haven't done any Heroics yet. I know that I should start with one of the easier Mech, SP, or Sethek Halls (or that is what I have been told). I just want to be sure that my stats are up to the challenge. I have a fair amount of tanking experience and love the job. But, I am so much a perfectionist that I don't want to enter Heroics and my group suffer b/c of sub-par stats.
Thanks

This topic of being decked out in BG items and tanking Heroics has been brought up a few times.
The only problem I see is the lack of evaison (parry/dodge). You're just over 20% You should have about 30% evaision for heroics. Not getting hit in Heroics can save your life
Replace your green bracers. You might as well get the BG ones. I actually used those for a looooong time, until last of my badge items. Moroes would not drop my bracers, so I said ***** him and BG'd them. Socked a star of elune (I believe there's a gem slot in those... been a while).
Start running OHB and BM. Get Honored with CoT and get the legs and the dodge/defense enchant for helm.
You can run SV (normal) for the Devilshark cape.
For legs LW makes Clefthoof armor kits? +30stam/10agi, or the really spendy 40stam/20?agi. I suggest waiting until you get those CoT pants.
Gems:
I suggest getting rid of the +str & +agi red gems. Picking up the +8 dodge. Don't need to regem if you want, but for the next set of pants consider doing the dodge over agi ones. IMO the main ones to worry about are: Stam/Dodge/Parry. Defense you'll get from that CoT enchant at Honored.
Shatt aldor/scyer should have a tanking shoulder enchant... mine has dodge anyway.

Oh and might want to think about talents. Check the stickies. Imp Revenge.... I tried it for 1 day. After shield block, I'd revenge... mob was stunned. I was gaining no rage, and single mob fights (where you have good CC) sucks trying to keep aggro and conserve rage. I hated it so much I asked if I could get a Port to Org to respec.
They agree'd, said I was getting no rage at all. So not even a day, more like 2 hours. Imp demo... eeeh... I'd look at the talent section in the stickies. I'd suggest picking up that last 5/5 on Vitality. I like Imp Bloodrage so I can start any fight off with a shield slam for the threat off the bat.

I don't know why but so many people do pass up the Chest piece you get from Reg Mech off second boss. You get that and you can easily afford to change out some of those defense gems for stam gems or dodge gems. Also the blue bracers from completing a quest in shadow labs are about the best you're gonna get before epics.

Is my link also
fwiw, you don't need 490 defense to tank heroics. 485 is sufficient for every heroic boss in the game that I know of.
I'd replace the green bracers, maybe take bracers of the green fortress if you have the money for it, otherwise the pvp-ones would do fine too.
You could also replace the +strength gems for avoidance gems, or maybe even +stam gems. Also get you shoulder inscripted with inscription of the knight and get +30 stam and +10 agi or even the +40stam and +12agi one on your legs.
Other than that, I think you should do fine :)
