Defense:
Raids: 540 defense skill or 687.4 rating or
-6%
chance to be critically hit
Heroics: 535 def or
-5%
chance to be critically hit
raid bosses have a 5.60% crit chance on an 80
heroic bosses have a 5.40% crit chance on an 80
it increases/decreases by 0.2% per level difference with 5% as the base
this really only matters in that the pvp shoulder chant is ideal for tanking as a non-scribe and instead of def rating is resil in which case knowing the exact crit reduction percentage is more helpful than just a "required" defense rating
crit reduction from def + crit reduction from resil + crit reduction from talents (which only druids have as tanks currently) = total crit reduction
>
5.4% (heroics) or 5.6% (raids)
also, don't leave out the engineers as one of their chants are an attractive tanking chant and cheap to boot
lovely isn't it

You should probably add
Cloak of Peaceful Resolutions
to the back lists, mostly cause it's alot easier to get (It's basically a weaker version of Cloak of the Enemy)

overall, a very nice post and will be helpful to those approaching 80. however, i can find a few points to disagree with :)
the summary on expertise is not a good generalization, and then gives bad advice, "so it’s just not worthwhile to go past 26 expertise skill". expertise is still quite good after 26.
gems: nightmare tear is a dps gem, and not a good tank choice
chest enchants: +stats is not a good tank choice, either +def or +hp are the options. you listed +200, which is good for starting gear, but there is also +275.
cloak enchant: i wouldn't use +agility for anything.
glove enchant: armsman is better than expertise or hit for threat. maybe you could justify expertise for early gear to save some gold, but never hit. for EH, there are also
stam
and
armor
options.
oh, and btw, the PVP shoulder enchant lowers the minimum defense level (to be uncrittable) by 4 points.
