MT gear progression

This is a really good list. It also lets me know right where i'm at gear wise.

Also include lightbringer legs. They are a huge amount of spell damage & avoidance at the cost of a bit of hp, but also let you use the illidan helm and keep your 4 piece t6 bonus (if it's worth it.. i'm undecided)

I tend to agree with honorshammer on the cloak, but then perhaps I'm crazy too...

Some suggestions ... I'm not familiar with the PvP rewards.

Shoulders
Mantle of Abrahmis (Kz.Nspite) -> Justicar Shoulderguards (GL.HKM) = Crystalforge Shoulderguards (TK.VR) -> Pauldrons of Stone Resolve (ZA.1chest) -> Pauldrons of Abyssal Fury (BT.Supremus) -> Lightbringer Shoulderguards (BT.Shahraz)

Librams
Libram of Repentance (15 badges) -> Libram of Divine Purpose (20 badges) -> Tome of the Lightbringer (BT.Shahraz)

Shields
Shield of Impenetrable Darkness (Kz.Nbane) -> (Merciless Gladiator's Shield Wall) (PvP) -> Aldori Legacy Defender (GL.Gruul) -> Bulwark of the Amani Empire (ZA.Jan) -> Kazrogal's Hardened Heart (HS.Kaz) -> Bulwark of Azzinoth (BT.Ill)

Weapons
Continuum Blade (KoT rep) = (Gavel of Unearthed Secrets (LC Rep) -> Fang of the Leviathan (SC.Leo) = (Merciless Gladiator's Gavel) (PvP) -> Amani Punisher (ZA.Akil) -> Hammer of Judgement (HS.Trash) -> Tempest of Chaos (HS.Archi)

Perhaps I just fail, but I fail to see what is so special about the merc gladiator shields? Why are they better than other, obvious, tanking shields from PVE?

Also, to honorshammer, why is CFS better than a Glad Gavel? The dps & tps from the Glad Gavel are, imho, far better than the CFS.

Or is it simply that the greather-than symbols are backwards? Or am I just misreading the symbol and it's just an arrow point to the next weapon in terms of progression?

I noticed the list does not include Chestguard of the Warlord, that drops from Zul'jin. I would assume that it is equivalent to the badge reward Chestguard of the Stoic Guardian, with the badge reward being better for threat and the drop being better for mitigation (having more armor and more avoidance)
