How beefy is your tank? (non-bear)

Mine hit 30454 health yesterday in pre-raid/crafted gear, def 535 for heroic boss cap and 51.84%

A frost dk in tank gear, pre-raid, pre-heroic I hit 27k hp pretty sure. Not long at all spent at 80. Not long at all.

Oh yea, only 505 defense or something, but belt needs to replaced as well as a few gems. Need rep enchants and get a nice big 2h with the gargoyle rune on it. Atm I'm dual-wielding with a dps mace and a dodge rating sword.

yup, i've been sitting at 27k for quite a while as well,
before i recently decided to look around for the best pre-raid gear (i don't plan on raiding)

i believe this is as high as it goes with the heroic def cap,
was wondering how it compared to other tanks

Armory link, please, so we can drool

my tank hit 80 5 days ago or so. def 547, armour 25/26k or so dmg reduction 62% or so. health 25800, 2 more bagdes and the neck and i should be able to hit 26k health

tanking is so much fun

I am currently at 29.7K HP (100% unbuffed), 541 def (552 really cause every time I use icy touch it jumps by 10.5 so its up the entirety of every fight), 22.5% dodge, 16% parry, 28.7k armor, 2800 attack power in tank gear.

I was up to 31k HP unbuffed before swapping out a bunch of stam gems for dodge gems. Will drop another 800hp or so shortly when I pick up the badge dodge trinket but my dodge will go up a couple percent. If I had fort + imp + kings + mark + shout + other raid buffs etc I imagine I could get up to 38k or so, maybe almost 40k.

28k HP, but she's a little higher stamina than she usually is cause I logged out with my boosting trinkets equipped. I've started moving my focus from hitpoints into effective health and mitigation now that my gear level is reaching the top of what's available before Ulduar.

My tank unbuffed has 25k hp, 23k armor, 542 def and 52.29& mitigation.

He has tanked the easier half of heroics without much issue. Honestly my group needs more dps.

i highly recommend going more for avoidance/def, and focus less on hp.

[Niley]

has every 10 man piece, avoidance set, stam set, full dps set, can go up to 34.4k hp in stam set, or up to 26.4% dodge and 32% parry in avoidance one(2 runes down, while keeping about 20 expertise and almost 260ish hit, both capped after hit food and expertise elixir). 542-545 def, depending which set.
Right now She's wearing mix of gear on armory. Also she does about 2k dps on single target.
