WotLK Progression Gear (70-80 gear guide)

Good list, but mark what's Alliance only and what's Horde only. A couple of the pieces in Grizzly Hills, for instance, don't have an associated Horde quest on WoWHead.

Excellent. Allow me to repeat the sticky request.

So am I correct in saying that there are no weapon upgrades until ~74? I was searching on wowhead and found nothing for tanking until then.

I would add this chest item as a quest reward from Zul'Drak, it's easily soloable and I think it might just edge by 75 badge chest out:

I found a lot of stuff in this link

But it seem to be mostly Crafted and instance drops. not so much quest rewards.

I havent seen in that list The Violet Hold.

Done yesterday a few runs and I've ended up taking away a nice cape and the legs, there's is also a very nice shield.

As reported above, T6 geared people shouldn't bother, anyone else should go and have a few run, not only there are quite a few nice drops, but Violet Hold is also quite fast and pleasant.

I ran the Item comparison tool on Wowhead.com and it rates the Gauntlets of the Disturbed Giant (GotDG) from Phase 1 as a better tankadin item than the Handguards of the Sanguine Gladiator (HotSG) listed in Phase 2. The GotDG have a tank score of 27.93, while the HotSG have a tank score of 26.92. The GotDG also rate higher for ret pallys as well (6.94 > 4.33). The Expelling Gauntlets (EG) are a close second with a tank rating of 29.70 and a ret rating of 6.5.

To summarize GotDG > EG > HotSG for tankadins according to Wowhead. Feel free to let me know if anyone is aware of a flaw with that comparison tool.

Prot Paladin weightings on wowhead aren't good - they still rate spellpower and int, and ignore strength completely. At least with he default weight scale, not sure if anyone's come up with good numbers for weightings in the new mechanics.
