Yeah, Ive been wanting to get a tank/bear spec gear and Ive been wanting to find a gemming list for bears but I cant seem to find a definite answer.
And I dont want to go like I were a kitty and stack AGI everywhere without being sure and mess it up!
Halp? /moo

Not sure what kind of answer you're looking for, cause you really should be stacking Agi.
Just make sure you're health is solid and once you're comfortable with it just stack more Agi for Dodge and otherwise make sure you meet your meta requirements.

Ok so I should be stacking AGI all over the place? Is there a certain amount Id be looking for HP? Like lets say, having 30k HP is good after that go get AGI or simply just agi from the beginning?
Depends what level of content you intend to tank. It's been a long time I have paid attention to my own health so I'm afraid to give you wrong numbers.
Off the top of my head I would say, self-buffed, ~25k health for heroics, ~30k health to get started in raids and then as you progress and pick up upgrades you shouldn't have to worry about it too much unless you notice getting insta-gibbed.
You still need at least 2 purle Agi/Stam gems anyway for your meta, and if you feel like you need more health I would suggest sticking those purples everywhere before you go with straight Stam gems. We get most of our health from the HotW+Bear Form Stam bonus so you really have to gem for avoidance contrarily to other tanks.

Honestly in my opinion blue stamina gems should take priority over red agility gems for a tank set. You will gain enough agility and dodge from the leather pieces you choose for tanking, provided you are using the right ones. Keep in mind as well that if you end up with too much dodge your rage generating capacity will suffer noticeably. There are enough leather pieces, and to a greater extent accessories (rings/trinkets/necklace/capes), with straight dodge rating on them that you should keep agility as your second most important stat, making stamina your first. High health is a druid's best friend for tanking even with the removal of crushing blows (wow that was a long time ago) because the health nerf we took a few patches ago was fairly significant IMO and Savage Defense, while nice, doesn't truly mitigate an insane amount of damage. Granted, I wouldn't give up Savage Defense, but I wouldn't rely on it to mitigate so much damage that I let my overall health suffer when gearing/gemming/enchanting.
Just my two cents.

Once you have enough health go agility.
Depends on how much health is enough.
I am around 40k buffed for 10 man Uld with barely any stam gems. If my health didn't jump to be 50k ish for Uld25 I would change some Agi gems to agi/stam or straight stam until that was the case.
Depends on your healers as well. If they can't keep you up then more stam. If you went nutty with stam and they are bored regem into agility.
Rage is rarely an issue as most tank specs gain rage on crits and dodge so agility actually helps with rage.
I mostly gem agility or agi/stam.
