O'RLY??

I may be wrong here...but according to what the wiki says, there aren't any tank-plate drops in either the regular or heroic versions of the new 5-man instance. I checked the drops in heroic and regular from the 4 bosses...saw some dps plate, but no tank gear.
Ok, so that's
stating that there aren't any tanking gear in the new 5-mans. I'd love to argue semantics all night, but if you reread your post you'll see that the only thing you're asking is whether or not prot warriors are being neglected (which they're not).

Are we being avoided?
I kind of feel like tanks are being very confined in the manner they can get gear upgrades.
We can't BG or arena for tanking gear.
Whine, whine and LIEZ. You can BG and arena for tanking gear. It's no harder than it is for a DPS warrior, you're just too lazy to do it, so you make up excuses. DPS warriors are more 'confined' than tanking warriors in the gearing matter. I should know, I wrote a sticky about gearing. There are few good DPS plate pieces in instances and heroic instances. It's not entirely unfamiliar that we have to settle for leather.

I love exploring the new content and am really looking forward to trying this in regular and heroic. I am remarking that it would be nice to have seen one piece of tank-gear somewhere in the mix.
And many would like to see at least one piece of DPS plate in kara that's more than decent. It still doesn't change the fact that there isn't one, and that we'll have to live with that.

Sure I have the S3 chest, but don't tell me that pvp is a viable option for tank-gearing-up.
PvP is a viable option for tank-gearing-up.
Why? Because of the vast amounts of +stam the PvP itemization holds. Lets compare:
[Vengeful Gladiator's Plate Chestpiece] [Panzar'Thar Breastplate] [Warbringer Chestguard] Sure, S3 isn't optimal due to lack of defense (if you need it... easily compensated through talents though). But can you honestly say that it isn't a valid option, knowing that you can run Nightbane 100 times and not see the kara chest, but needing only skill to ensure the S3 chest.
PvP isn't valid? Give me one
valid reason, not the crappy excuses you comfortably come up with.

Don't say that I'm whining and then turn around and speak to the lack of plate-dps gear....at least you can arena/bg for a decent welfare-epic set.
You see that's the difference. You say: "Oh boohoo, the new heroics and normal 5-mans haven't got any prot gear, we're avoided!". That's whine.
I say: "There isn't a lot of DPS gear pre-SSC, and not as much DPS gear as prot gear in heroics.". That's fact.
You can arena for some damn good tanking pieces too. You choose not to and complain about stuff instead.

My guild is just starting to push through Kara, I find myself praying for a random upgrade from there...otherwise nada.
You're hoping for 'random' upgrades in kara? I'd link you all the kara plate gear, but the stupidity in that statement makes me find it's not worth my while.
Get your head out of your *** and see things for how they really are. Tanks are very easy to gear up. I'm not saying DPS warriors aren't. Just that they aren't
as easy. Tbh, I don't complain at any of the two (neither should you...), just stating facts.
