question - DK tank uncrittable numbersFollow

My dk just hit 80 and I have all of the crafted gear, plus a few drops. On my character sheet, my defense number is 541. My defense rating is in the 600s. (cant remember exact number and I'm logged out in mishmash gear)

I know the "magic" number is 540 to be uncrittable, what I don't understand is if the defense rating number has to be up over 690 as well. So my question is, which number do I use, defense rating or defense on the character sheet.

thanks in advance.

Your defense SKILL is increased by your defense RATING.

You need 540 Skill to be uncrittable by raid bosses. That requires you to have 6xx rating.

You're fine.

[EDIT] Rune of the Stoneskin Gargoyle gives a ton of skill (25) which allows you to have less rating to be uncrittable.

However, it is better to try and gear skill to 540 then use SSG or SS, for 3% avoidance (and health) or 4% avoidance, respectively.
