KharBevNor:
Isn't that basically the point of the def cap as a benchmark though?
kemon:
yes, but defense gives other benefits on top of the uncrittable. going past the "defense cap" isn't bad per se. you just get more benefit from pure dodge/parry after you're uncrittable.
Alex C:
Yeah, it's technically more accurate to call it the defense soft cap* or "uncrittable," since defense never really loses all of its value in achievable gear. I just replied the way I did so some goober can't come in and start giving me shit for green lighting resilience as a tanking stat. Point for point, resilience reduces your chance to be critted more than anything else, actually. It just doesn't do much else as far as PvE is concerned, which is why people don't stack it.
Anyway, the PvP trinket actually isn't a bad band-aid solution at all. Unless your a jewelcrafter your trinket options before heroics and emblem gear really, REALLY suck. At least that trinket will let you just slap in higher item level gear without having to juggle as much defense rating just to stay uncrittable. You'll still obviously want to get the Corroded Skeleton Key and the Glyph of Indomitability when you can, but as far as immediate solutions go it's a good one.
*Nobody really does this.
KharBevNor:
Yeah, I'm talking about the def cap as a bare minimum requirement for tanking heroics. Obviously I will eventually be looking to stack as much defence as I possibly can.

Fix'd.
Get 5.6% reduction of chance to be crit via defence and perhaps a little res, then you stack stam like a mad cunt.
At least until you have BiS and stuff then you can think about min/maxing.
