So if you remember I posted not too long ago about deciding between a warrior and paladin tank. I chose my pally and am now 68. I'm going to level as prot to 80. I've been trying to look for a decent set of tank gear for starting Nexus/UK. I was mainly looking at level 70 BC instances to get a decent set of gear going. If you check out my [link=http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Suramar&n=Roobe[/armory]I have started. My main question is what about trinkets? I know about the ones to get in wotlk instances, but what should I use for starting? I noticed a 33def or so trinket from shadow labs and a JC epic trinket with def and a dodge click that you needed Shattered Sun - Revered. I know there is the cobalt set at 80 but I was wondering if any of the items from BC instances would be better. Any advice on gear would be appreciated.
My second question is on my talents. I just did a quick respec from ret and didnt think much about picking up the parry from ret tree. Should I drop reckoning or some other talent and pick up 5/5 Deflection? Granted I probably wont start tanking instances till I get a set of better gear which will probably be around 70/71, but I think I should still fill out Deflection before something like reckoning.
Edit: Sorry about link, cant seem to fix it. Also any Kara gear from the easier / beginning bosses is doable. I could easily put together a pretty solid group of 4-5 80's to come along to help.
Thanks,
