Hi, nice guide. =)
Just wanted to add the
Crystal-Infused Tunic
. I used it for a long time.
Also, Flowing
Cloak of Command
is a very useful tanking cape. At least until the armor multiplier is removed from the non-leather items. ;-)

hello fellow droods,
I'm having a big problem trying to find groups for 10 man naxx, heres my gear link first of all
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Nagrand&n=Rebell
in bear form (unbuffed) i have
30k hp
38% dodge
25k armor
surely this is good enough stats to tank 10 man naxx, yet groups refuse to let me join. Basically i'm asking you guys if theres a problem with my gear/stats or perhaps i've missed something vital out.
I would appreciate any help from you guys

Here are some more options for neck I stole these from the DK sticky so they have defense on them but they are still some decent alternatives to get you started

Just my $0.02 on the table at this little party. I just made a small investment in the polar set and while I understand it doesn't have the raw stats to match the
chest
,
belt
, or
boots
that you currently have listed, I think that it's still most certainly note worthy.
The pieces that I am referring to are:
Polar Vest
Polar Cord
Polar Boots
So there are some thoughts. Agree, disagree, etc... Life goes on.
I completely agree but alot of ppl arent on board with the polar like u and i. So i decided since im a LW and have way mmore jormungar scale then i need i went out and made a pair of the
boots
. ok i currently have my Polar boots gemed with
vivid
forest emerald and
Regal
twilight opal. And i have the 22 stam enchant over the agil one with my logic being when i do replace these boots ill b saving them for the frost resist fights where i prefer the extra stam. Ok for the numbers.
with the polar boots i had 1960 more stam and 216 more armor unbuffed.
with the Jormscale footpads i had .52% greater dodge
So the bottom line trade is .52% chance to dodge compared to almost 2k health and 216 more armor. However i do have 22stam on the polar that i could get on the jormscale but ill let someone else crunch tose numbers. For me im sticking with polar and definately see where it is a worthy mention. Btw if someone smarter than me wants to crunch the numbers of effects of kings and everything there welcome to but im not very good at that.

Hmm, depends on how the wipe occurred. Was it because you died / couldn't keep threat / bad dps from others .. ie. taking too long ?
Also, I know this isn't really the place to discuss builds .. but 18k armor ;o Perhaps invest in more enchants + gems to fill those vacant sockets. Other than that looking at your spec, you are missing
Thick Hide
which increases armor contribution from items ... it's a must if you want to be a tank. Also you don't have
Natural Reaction
or
Survival of the Fittest
... come to think of it now it seems you were a dps spec before .. If I were in your shoes I'd drop some un-needed points in Resto and add them in Feral as advised.

Now that we have Feral Attack power on so many weapons... wouldnt
Titansteel Destroyer
be a viable Druid tanking weapon as well? Worse stamina than the
other
staves
... but wouldnt the Strenght and Hit rating be better for threat generation?
Also... id say its definetly the best pre-heroic bear weapon you can get...
Did anyone look into polearms?
edit: How about
this one
, as a pre-heroic weapon suggestion?

Been wondering the past few days about
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40683
. Is it worth spending 40 badges on it when i can get t7 chest soon? Or should I stick with my
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44323
? My other trinket is
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37220
.
As I see it the valor medal is quite situational and the alchemy trinket gives me a solid boost of 75 stam and 50 dodge rating.
Any thoughts?

Hmm, i have a question. I play a tank druid, of course... my
armory link
is here... (i am 4 emblems far from purchasing a T7 chest), and yesterday, the T7 gloves token dropped for me. Now i find the choice pretty hard to make, because i find the Handwraps (my current gloves) pretty good even after the recent nerf :-/ And the T7 gloves have itemization points spent on silly stats that i am not interested in at all (except for the Agility). So... would you advice me to keep the old gloves, or to switch to the T7 ones? (considering the fact that they would help me towards the 2-piece set bonus, i dont know how good it is)

The current best tanking enchant for druids is
Greater Inscription of the Gladiator
(using Tossk's points calculator)
So add this one to the list.
