I've now geared my tank about as well as I'll be able to short of joining raids/farming a TON of frost emblems. I'm still going to get emblems for the tank ring, and I'll need bracers and a better trinket for one slot - at that point I'll be all purpled out.

For getting my rets past Devourer of Souls, I'm thinking I will probably pay a tank + healer combo to drag me through 2x so they can all get credit, and then I will farm my brains out in PoS for some better weapons and all that happiness.

Also going to try to farm Ahune again tonight - I'll try that strategy, Ugh!
