(H) VH is prob. one of the easiest and fastest heriocs to do and the final boss drops nice purple tanking pants.
Kirin Tor have a nice purple rep hands, I believe. So keep your KT tabard on.
Craft the purple helm and shoes.
Get the +def trinket from Normal HoL. Best trinket you can get until Naxx.
Only purple wrists I know of drop in 10 Man Naxx of trash.
Get your T7 gear from emblems. That'll cover the chest and hands and there's a nice belt and neck.
Hmm... all I can think of off the top of my head.

I've got 26.5K health (unbuffed) in my tanking gear and nearly 50% avoidance (including base miss and miss from def rating). With PW:Fort, Mark of the wild, and Kings, I'm at about 31K health. So far, the group I've been with has only been able to clear about half of the raid (people fail hard at the safety dance for example), and my stats haven't really been an issue.
The pants from H VH are definitely nice. Tempered Titansteel gear is also pretty good, and not terribly expensive these days either. Titanium Earthguard Ring and Neck are also good to have, if you've got the gold (or friends). Extra armor on the neck means more AP (if you've got Bladed armor specced).
Another bit of stats not to neglect when gearing up are expertise and hit. If your abilities are all missing or being parried/dodged, your tps will fall through the floor. I've got about 140hit and 10 expertise so far on my gear.
The hardest part about Naxx is learning the fights. Gear requirements for Naxx10 aren't that terribly stringent.
