Dude wtf. Your gear is bad. Well. Sure, generally it is kinda okay tanking gear for heroics and stuff, but you could be so much better if you actually knew what you were doing. Just whipped out my (windows) calculator to see how much stamina i could get by re-enchanting and re-socketing, and i came up with +189 (-111 and +1792 armor if you switch essence). Lets go from the top to bottom:
(the changes i am suggesting are supposing that you are gonna tank Festergut, hence why armor and hp is the highest priority)
Headpiece: Bad gem. Use expertise/stamina instead.
Shoulders: Bad enchant. Use stamina/resilience instead.
Back: Bad enchant. Use +225 armor instead.
Chest: You could use +18 stamina instead. Not a glaring issue though.
Weapon: Bad gem. Use stamina instead.
Gloves: Bad enchant. Use +18 stamina instead.
Legs: VERY BAD piece of equipment. How on earth did those get a higher priority than T9 legs goes beyond me. GET T9 LEGS and slap 2x+30 stamina on them.
Essence of Gossamer: Bad trinket. Use
Glyph instead.
You say you want the trinket that drops in
HPoS to boost your mitigation? That is an avoidance trinket. It does not grant you as much of a mitigation boost as the Glyph.
Also change your glyph according to what others suggested.
Also on Festergut, when he has 3 stacks of Inhale, even all the equipment switched for the items i suggested wont save you if you cannot use your cooldowns efficiently. During the 3-stack period, use your cooldowns in this manner: Barkskin -> Frenzied Regeneration -> Last Stand. Not all at once. Do not waste cooldowns for anything else than a 3-stack of inhale.
And your raid comp. Festergut is not only a tank gear check, it is also a DPS check and a minor retard check. The best raid comp. for a guild that progresses him is 3 healers, 2 tanks, 5 dps. He IS killable that way, and it is not difficult. If you can not make it, your DPS need an appointment with a training dummy. Hint: I do
over 9000 dps on this boss as a
feral tank, and did 5100 dps with
this. You, as a feral tank, can also help your DPS a lot with beating the enrage timer. Hint: Tank him first.
