1. If you just follow a guide like this one you are just lazy at doing the homework yourself.

2. Nonetheless it is a good list to start with. But if you come across items which give you more block, stam, etc. just pick them up and let your outfitter know that you aquired a new item for your block-set or stam-set or whatever-set.

So at the end of farming T7.5 content you end up with lots of pieces of extra gear and you are able to swap in and out gear to counter special encounters.

i dont agree with jc trinket i think alchemy trinket is far better. and in my oppinion the shield from kel is better overall, regarding to the item level, the patchwork shield is a better avoidance shield. but if u prefere the t7,5 legs above the legs from malygos or satharion u also have to prefere the shield from kel.

i think sartharion legs are atm the best legs ingame regarding to parry/dodge dimishing retuns. atm i am at 18% parry and 24 % dodge unbuffed. so i am having to much dodge, i can profit more from the parry of satharion legs. malygos legs are on 2cond place and t7,5 as block gear on third

A little trinket blurb...
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=44063

JC BOP Crab 63 + gem 24 + JC BOP gem 41 + bonus 9 = 137 sta.

3.0.8 buffs Sacred Duty to 8%. Result: this combo will then give 156 sta (post 3.0.8 talents).
Why not use dual 41 sta gems? Use a blue gem in the blue socket and save the prismatic JC BOP gem for a non-blue socket elsewhere in the gear. (If we ever get the epic 30 sta gem, put one into this baby and it shoots up to 143 sta = 163 stamina post 3.0.8 talents.)

A JC could in theory maximize stamina from trinkets with the above combo, then dualgemming the Ruby Hare with 2x 41 sta gems for 153 sta (174 sta post 3.0.8 talents)
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=42341


(In this best case crazy scenario, a JC would have, from the 2 trinkets alone, a post 3.0.8 talents 118 sta lead over an engineer with the Essence of Gossamer + Sonic Booster. Add 10% BoK for extra flavor. It's then a 130 sta gap.)



The best non-JC BOP stamina trinket... 111 sta (126 sta post 3.0.8 talents)
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37220


What other stamina trinks are there? Read it and weep. :S (50+ sta trinks search)

If I messed up somewhere, feel free to flame away
There is always Ulduar. I'm more or less expecting a new stamina trink in there.

You are completely ignoring additional socket bonuses from socketing prismatic gems in other pieces of armor. In fact your method will likely result in a net lose of stamina compared to spreading the gems out.

That's why I said "crazy".

Tho one wonders if that much stamina might not be interesting anyway, if you will disregard some bonuses on some gear and go all out stamina... highend gear will have good stats even if the occasional '+6 sta' bonus is left unused.

ratanna i was doing my own best in slot on chardev and figured id run yours and see how they compare, congrats on Maxamizing HP sadly your BIS is wrong for one reason. I input your exact choices in chardev and you under crit cap, even with 12def to bracers which u wont have when 3.0.8 hits, your at 533 with that enchant so i think so rethinking is in order, if your gonna post a best in slot guild id make sure that was first consideration. also your not at block cap either which is the paladins biggest advantage over other tanking classes. see for yourself http://www.chardev.org/?template=109201

my suggestion would be to change the gatekeeper for the 25man badge ring and trade some stam to get to crit cap but to each their own

this is My list Click me (read the last post for latest version)
As i have said if Rawr DR coeficients are true, ull have the magic 102.4 adding even more to your EH. It can be easy changed for Non JC`s - Jc trinket with Essence of Gossamer, and 27 Def rate gem in shoulders with 22 def enchant on armor + 8 def rate/12 stamina gem in the shoulders.
About the meta, u can easy socet the one with 2 % spell, u wont loose that much armor, if u preffer to be prepared for Malygos and the drakes in Obsidian Sanctum. Anyway, just my 5 cents
