you didnt include polearms in your weapon list! /shame! =P
I know, i know, they arent ideal for tanking, but I like 'em anyways.

ah, missed them. Yea, right now I'm just stuck using a +96 stamina green polearm for tanking, havent gotten up to the level for those yet.
Icier-barbed spear at 75 from amphitheater of madness isnt bad either, not a lot of stamina but you gain some avoidance out of it.

Yeah, but I compared it to this:
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=41816
It's superior for tanking with imho, and it comes from the arena quest too. Less crit, but more AP and it has some hit rating. Plus the weapon is slower. :)
yea, if icier barbed spear didnt look so cool, and if de-raged waraxe wasnt an axe, i'd probably take that =P
I'm going for the polearm, even if it is the lesser of the quest rewards. My axe skill is horrid, and the weapon will get replaced at 70 anyways. Icier barbed spear is too good a model to pass up IMO, can keep it for showing off later =)

There's an extremely distinct lack of tanking stats on 2H weapons. No buffs to Defense, Dodge, Parry, nothin... just lots of buffs to damage and base stats.
Really shows that a DK is more like a bear tank than a warrior tank.

we gain a small amount of avoidance from strength, so strength (and agility) are both considered avoidance stats. Other than that, aim for hit rating/expertise/stamina on your weapon, because those stats wont be readily available on tanking plate gear.
