Key things to remember - this is not the be-all end all, and more often than not what fills the holes in your tanking set is best. If you have any advice, feel free to comment, I won't be offended.
The Golden Assumption
All theory crafting is inherently flawed because you cannot create a linear guide that will work for every situation. The individuals who read these guides are living breathing human beings with a brain of their own. They have the knowledge and capacity to understand that said guide will not always work. They have the ability to adapt and overcome these predicaments on their own and do not need to be spoon fed every possible variable involved.
