EH Trinket: Armor vs Health

I'm not usually a fan of double stamina trinkets, which is why I usually don't use the Essence of the Gossamer unless I have to. But with the addition of Ulduar, comes the addition of the
Heart of Iron
. I'm currently running around with a
Defender's Code
and a
Monarch Crab
(+24stam / +12stam+8def). The reason I like those 3 trinkets is because of their Use effect. To me they are a hybrid between a stam and an avoidance trinket.
I'm usually the one tanking bosses in our Ulduar 25 runs, I'm comfortably def capped, I've also got enough avoidance to get myself over the block cap unbuffed. So I think EH would be the best to stack atm for me.
In case the Heart drops, which combination of trinket should I be using?

Although I cant give you any math to support it, I would personally be using Monarch Crab and Heart of Iron. The +Armor on Defender's Code (which I thought was a druid-focused item?) would be nothing in comparison to the almost 2k health after talents from the Heart of Iron. Add to that armor on trinkets/rings doesn't get effected by +armor% talents (I believe it's considered bonus armor, like green armor rating on some items). The additional health from Heart of Iron would also work quite nicely with Ardent Defender, increasing your EH by that much more.
Druids no longer get extra benefit from armor bonuses. They only get the multiplier on the white armor values of cloth and leather armor, so armor trinkets work equally for tanks.

Thus rendering Defender's Code terrible.

Is DC terrible from a druid point of view or for tanks in general? Because at least the dodge use effect isn't too shabby tho.

DC aint that terrible at all. The armor alone i'd say is ~.75% mitigation for a paladin tank.
The Use: isn't shabby either.
It's actually better for Paladins than most other tanks.
IIRC both druids and DKs have more armor than paladins and im not entirely sure about warriors.
