I've been level 70 for about 3 weeks now. I am limited in my play time by a second shift job and therefore I end up missing my guild raids and have only been in Kara 3 times so far with a friend's group and never a full run. I have been in runs that have taken down Att, Moroes, and Curator so far.
Anyway my gloves are the only piece I have gotten from Kara so far. I am working on badges and pvp in between those times to get some more gear for both my dps set(2250ish attack power 34% crit) and my offspec resto(900 +healing 113mp5 9k mana) set as well.
Now I know that Badge of Tenacity and the Faire cards are awesome trinkets, but aside from that and getting CE Rep for Earthwarden. Do you guys see anything I might upgrade short of getting my tokens in Kara?
Mostly I'm looking for upgrades I can get through PVP, Quests, Rep, Instances and badges(sitting at 23 now)&(within reasoning I average 5-10 badges a week give or take based off work/pvp/helping guildies/dailies/time of day I am online, etc.)
Also any other suggestions on my gemming and enchants is welcome. I am just barely uncrittable between resil and def rating atm. 2.67% I gemmed for stam till I hit 13k unbuffed hp and then agil to keep dodge at 30-31% (It shows 15k and 34% but that's not what stats actually are ingame so Armory just does the bear form math wrong)

After checking out your armory I have some suggestion of what you should try to get first. I recently started researching all of this for my resto druid which is in bt/sunwell at the moment because I wanted to start a tank set.
You should look into getting a Belt of Natural Power made it is the best belt in the game as of now you can look up the mats for it on wowhead or any other site. The mats are kind of expensive but is definetely worth it since you wont replace it.
You should replace your bracers with the vindicators leather bracers which are supposed to be made for rogues but they end up having more mitigation than the dragonhide that were meant for druids. They cost something like 11k honor but will last you a long time.
Some other things you could look into getting with your badges is the new ring that came out which is the best in game and also the cloak and neck unless you would rather save up for the chest or legs. The T4 head and shoulders will last you along time for tanking.
You should also look at getting an arena team even if you lose 10 games per week you can still get points saved up for vengeful gear which is really good for tanking.

Will look into the pvp bracers you mentioned.
Also I have been looking for the Belt of Natural Power but I am on Thorium Brotherhood and only a few guilds have progressed far enough to have been lucky enough for the drop. I'm still asking around for anyone that can make it.
Also actually had a conversation with a rogue buddy of mine the other night about starting an arena team. Any thoughts on if I should go 3v3 or 5v5? 2v2 is hard for a feral from what I have heard.
Thanks for the advice and look forward to more.

Surely some guild is raiding in ssc for the belt to drop it drops off trash quite often.
To be honest I dont know if i've seen a great team with a feral druid on it besides maybe a couple they can do some good burst dps in arena though so im sure you could make it work I seem to recall a resto druid feral druid team that was ok 2 innervates and all that.
My main points was win or lose you will still be building up some arena points for osme good tanking upgrades.

Tree-mender's belt is a good temporary alternative to the belt of natural power if you cant afford it.
Must be a hiccup in the armroy what i see is cat DPS gear, ill look later.

That's a pretty solid set, for tanking I would recommend trying to get the badge rings, or at least a more tanking oriented one, Mok'Nathal Clan Ring from Hellfire Ramparts (regular) and Iron Band of the Unbreakable from old Hillsbrad (regular) both have some armor on them, as well as defensive stats. Also, you might think of grabbing one of the armor trinkets too (obviously tenacity is the best), since you're an enchanter you can make Smoking Heart of the Mountain (recipe drops off Lord Roccor in BRD, you gotta make it at the forge in BRD too).
Bands of the Swift Paw beat everything but T6 and S4; depending on how much you like PvE vs PvP, it may be easier to get 35 badges than 11k honor.
Also, the Vind leather has more avoidance and survivability than the Vind Dragonhide, but less mitigation. That's splitting hairs, though, the Rogue set is still better than the Druid set.
You lose a lot of defense rating jumping from HC to epics, so you're going to need more than the 2.6% crit reduction before you upgrade your chest, boots, or leggings.
Enchants by slot:
Head: Glyph of the Defender (KoT Rep)
Shoulders: Inscription of the Knight/Greater Inscription of the Knight (Scryer)
Back: Greater Agility (12) or Steelweave (12 Defense)
Chest: Defense (15) or +6 Stats
Wrist: Greater Defense (12) or Fortitude (12 Stam)
Hands: 15 Agility
Legs: Clefthide / Nethercleft leg armor
Feet: Dexterity (12 Agi) or Fort (12 Stam)
Rings: +4 Stats
Weapon: +35 Agi
In order of importance, Defense up to 2.6%, Stam up to whatever is safe for the instances you run, then Agi. Resilience works for crit immunity, but I believe you actually get more avoidance (Dodge + Miss) from Defense rating than you do from Resil + Agi gems.
Also, Stam gems are worth 12/15, stat gems (agi or defense) are 8/10. Stat enchants are generally equal to stam enchants. So, it's better to enchant for Defense, then Gem for Stam, then fill your remaining slots with Agi.
