Thanks; I don't have the cash for the shotgun but do have a +40 sta bow with no parry or d sitting in bank (wow.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?witem=35590;source=live).
Depends on how much you want it. As a miner though, you can defray some of the cost by mining up the titanium and saronite yourself. Eternals you could farm, just leaving a walnut stock, a frozen orb, and a willing Engineer to craft it.
As far as priorities, block is less valuable against harder hitting bosses, but extremely strong in heroics (especially against trash). Dodge/parry/defense all add to actual avoidance. And in terms of soaking damage (effective health / time to live), it's all about stamina and armor. For where you're at now though, you'll have a pretty clear path of straight upgrades until you get raiding.
