Very complete list, but as the poster above mentioned there is not a "single" gear set for tanking. I myself use 3 different sets depending on what I am doing, as well as progression MT for all WOTLK content. As progression tank I generally go with a healthy stam/mitigation/avoid gearset, for trash i use a pure mitigation, and for REALLY hard hitting bosses(Maly) i usually go full avoidance. I have taken your list and adjusted some of the pieces to better suite for avoidance ranking, as well as add a mitigation ranking next to the epics in the list. Certainly a 3rd set for overall with stam could be defined as well and a lot of what you wear may be based on other pieces you have. Anyway, here is how i would rank them.
