imo get to 540 def without using url=

. If you can then

all the way. Go to Halls of lightning and farm

. its a very nice trinket that you can upgrade later with

from nax (still waiting for mine QQ). the heroism dodge trinket seems like a waste to me (to me btw) cause you will eventually upgrade so wasted herosims. There is more than enough gear out there to get def capped but its just balancing your hp pool with your avoidance. start running farming VoA and Sartharion for T7 i guess. Also try to spec for

Um, don't listen to this post Stoneskin Gargoyle is the single best tanking rune. Having said that I wouldn't get into Naxx 10 Main tanking till you hit 26k health 26k armor with 40 percent avoidance. It's pretty easy to offset alot of the damage by keeping IBF going. The heroism dodge trinket is a waste of badges, but your trinkets and rings are really bad. I am also showing your armor at only 15k that is scary low. Your mitigation is seriously weakened at that low of a number. You are probably geared enough to OT Naxx 10 or OS 10 replace your gloves immediately. Farm heroics for better trinkets and rings.
Harmacy is correct fastest way is to replace those gauntlets and. Your avoidance and mitigation are your problem.

Pardon?

I would really like to know why ~2.10% passive avoidance and ~8.50% on use avoidance is a waste, our avoidance stats are parry and dodge, we have no shield therefore we have no block avoidance.

Because there are better or equal trinkets and the badges can be spent on items that would add A) more armor/defense/health/strength/hit which equals out to a better point per tank stat.

Lynri,
I appreciate your opinion but you are talking about trinkets and not badges spent. I said there are equal trinkets. I didn't say pre-raid I just said equal trinkets and you can get tanking gear for your badges that would equate to better overall stats.
Stamina and Armor trinkets I toss in the trash.
The OP was talking about raiding and spending his badges to get gear to help him out. Looking at his gear there are numerous better options to spend your badges on since you can't get a close to equal trinket.
Spending the badges on the trinket over the gloves/belt/neck/chest bonuses one stat though a good stat but doesn't help his overall needs. Which means the trinket is not your best bang for your buck. By the time he gets the gear where it becomes worth getting he won't need it anymore.
Perhaps saying it was worthless wasn't the correct wording. I should have said there are better options for your badges.

Yea that boss can hit hard....the spell that hits hard it usually his corpse explosion. The fight can be done like a tank and spank if the tank can take the hits and if u have good heals. I am way overgeared for that but when i run it he occasionally pwns me. Howver i seen your avoidance is pretty low. Try and make an EH (effective health) set and an avoidance set. Some people prefer EH>Avoidance me personally like having over 60% raid buffed avoidance =P Try that out.

Lynri,
What weapon are you using? I am on my 5th or 6th lost roll for a better two hand weapon still using the Axe from Heroic HOL. And still leading in total damage or in the top five in every raid I am in, even crushing Ironsoul users. Was doing a run last night and
Inevitable Defeat
dropped. I was pumped rolled an 85 my best roll in a month of raiding. Got beat by a pug Ret pali who rolled a 98. lol, I can't get any gear right now, because we have a bunch of scrub ret pali's and dk's who keep getting gear.
I swear I am about to reroll a rogue or lock just so I can get some gear.

Happened to as well last weekend.
Was tanking H CoS and for some reasons healer couldn't keep up.
We changed healers 3 times to see if it was the healer or me and I can only assume it was me. Those healers already healed my paly tank and they were bored of so little healing action (with few exceptions).
My stats were (now in dps mode on armory) +28k life, +25k armor, 536 def (535 being cap for heroics) and ±34% avoidance.
I've already tanked other heroics on him and wasn't that much of a problem. But this time i felt like trying to tank with dps gear on or something and being hit by trucks.
Except for my still a bit low avoidance, I have no idea what went wrong there.
As for Trollgore, that fight is a tank and spank and is very easy.
Just drag him down the stairs and you won't get any other adds (except maybe the first 2)
_______ << boss on top of stairs at the start
|_____|
|_____|
|_____|
|_____|
|_____| << drag the boss to like 3-4 stairs from the bottom
|_____|
|_____|
______ << bottom floor
