Having never tanked in vanilla wow (pre-tbc) i was wondering what the defence cap was for a level 60 in raids back then as im joining a new guild to start raiding at 60 old school style (no items out of vanilla wow).

You need Level*5 + 140 defensive skill in order to be uncrittable by a mob 3 levels higher.
Level 80 that's 80*5 + 140 = 540
Level 70 that's 70*5 + 140 = 490
Level 60 that's 60*5 + 140 = 440

No, there was no defense rating on items. There was plain defense skill instead, ratings were introduced with BC.

infact there was defence rating, as all the tiered warrior gear has defence rating, and some of the blacksmithing items i will be using have defence rating on them.

No, as I said and will say again, there was NO defense
rating
. Instead of the rating there was plain defense skill. Then when BC came out it had been converted into rating, which is why you have defense rating and not skill on your items now.
Example:
Helm of Wrath
has now 16 defense rating, which was in fact 11 defense skill before BC came out.

I don't think it was possible being uncrittable back in Vanilla anyway, was it? I remember a T2.5 geared tank complaining about how Maexxna kept critting him during the web spray.
