Well in my progression to 80, been about a week now. I found no trinkets that would have been an upgrade for tanking. Still using Figurine of the Colussus and Darkmoon Card Vengeance.
Well like most WOW players, Tuesday morning sucks, specially if you do not work at this time. SO i do what most do I search for items. Well I came across 2 trinkets that look pretty nice, wanted to see opinions or maybe better ones.
Seal of the Pantheon http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=36993
Essence of Gossamer http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=37220
Neither are Epic, but I like lots of stamina. And the 2nd is over 1k extra alone.

"True" tanking trinkets just are not common in the game. I am level 78 and still using Regal Protectorate (from a Hellfire quest at level 61 or so) and Figurine of the Colossus. When people ask about my trinkets, I just tell them "Hey, they work for me until I get something better!"
I still have never done the quest chain to get Dabiri's Enigma, but it isn't that much of an upgrade from Regal Protectorate, so it isn't really worth the time to go back to Netherstorm and get it.
I am looking forward to ANYTHING (Trinket-wise) in Lich King that gives defense and/or avoidance.

Both of those are nice trinkets. I'd add the Figurine - Monarch Crab to the list for Jewelcrafters and the new Alchemist's Stone for Alchemists.
Actually, the trinket section of my new Prot Pally Wrath gear guide (which is about 80% complete at this point) so far is made up of those 4 pieces :D
I'm at the point where I have piles and piles of Defense and don't need a Defense trinket that badly. The advantage is, most defense trinkets have a useful Use effect as well, like the Seal of the Pantheon. At the moment I'm using the Monarch Crab (with a stamina and a defense gem, lawl socket bonus :D) and the Essence of Gossamer for a major stamina boost from trinkets. I have the Seal of the Pantheon sitting in my bags (if you know my play style, you'd know that if it's in my bags rather than my bank, I expect to find a use for it). There's just SO much Defense on gear already that I can't justify using it at the moment.
I mean, Defense is great for avoidence but it becomes less and less effective the more you stack -- until you balance it out with straight up Dodge. My survivability beats the crap out of all of the content that's available so far -- I'm actually seriously considering a few gems/enchants/trinkets that focus on bringing my DPS up right now.

Sonic Booster is nice if you're engineer as well. Doubles as a threat trinket for opening pull as it almost always procs on 1st 2-3 hits, either your hits or you getting hit, lol. I'm using the JC trinket as my 'def' trinket and when i have enough def, i'll resocket it for pure avoidance or threat stats.
That's what I love about the Monarch Crab. It can be customized for whatever you need out of it. You can stack a crazy amount of stamina on it with Unique(3) gems, or use it as a Defense/Stamina or Threat/Stamina or DPS/Stamina trinket.
