Nope, wasn't me. :)
I wouldn't mind hearing the results though. However, I'd warrant that it depends entirely on what you're tanking as to whether you want a block set or a high stam set.

I believe it's because you get more +def than (relevant) stats for the same item budget cost. I.e. If you had to choose between enchanting/gemming def vs enchanting/gemming stats the sum is greater if you choose to enchant def and gem stats. Hence; until you enough def from gear enchanting +def wins out over gemming def.
This.

From your gear, I'm going to assume they want you to tank ToC and possibly Icecrown when it comes out.
Get +defense for your shield. The defense enchant is significantly stronger than the stamina enchant in that slot. If you were massively over 540 defense (and you're using the Onyxia trinket... *cringe*), I'd be more inclined to dump the chest defense enchant for stats or health than swapping the shield over to something else. The only alternative would be Titanium Plating, but until we get better looks at Icecrown I wouldn't suggest it.
In current content, BV is something you throw on for extra threat, some trash, soloing, or PvP. The mitigation is indifferent against any serious boss.
And the block cap is nice but not OP in current content. Block Rating is "meh" as a stat and you should certainly not be looking to stack it. Again, this may change with Icecrown and the new version of Sunwell Radiance.

"Current Content" is what you do to get ready for the next content, not get more ready for current content, thats what you did last content.

Anyway, for ToC stack stam maintaining 540def. Thats it.
