Well, my pally tank is now almost as geared as he is going to get from heroics. I haven't managed to down HoR yet, I get past the first few waves but still need to work out a tactic for the 2nd boss. I have almost enough badges for a full PvP set if I feel like getting it.

Pimped out Pally

Thanks for all the links and tips. I am probably going to buy the Saronite Sword Breakers for wrists and currently I am wearing 5/5 T9, I may get one of the non-set pieces. Once I get enough Frost emblems might pick up one of those pieces as well.

I don't have the confidence to solo tank for PuG raids yet as I haven't done any of the raid instances. I didn't do Naxx back in the day either. I still have a 5x shaman team to gear up so my current plan is to run the pally with 4x shaman and get them heroic/triumph geared and then run the other Shaman solo and do some PuG raids with the Shaman to learn the encounters and observe tanking strats for my pally to tank raids.

I am also tempted to run my disc priest with 4x shaman in arenas and BGs just for kicks. The world is my oyster.
