Taking the next step

Since i am a terrible terrible person, I forgot to log out in my MT gear. So I linked it all for your viewing pleasure. On pieces where there are two items, the second is a pice i am farming for and intending to replace the first piece with.

Eternium Greathelm ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28593 )
Strength of the Untamed ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29173 )
Mantle of Abrahmis ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28743 )
Devilshark Cape ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27804 )
Chestguard of the Stoic Guardian ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=33522 )
Sha’tari Wrought Armguards ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28167 ) ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29252 )
Iron Gauntlets of the Maiden ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28518 )
Sha’tari Vindicator’s Waistguard ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31460 )
Timewarden’s Leggings ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29184 ) ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=34946 )
Boots of Elusion ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30641 )

Cenarion Ring of Casting ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25541 )( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=33853 )
Elementium Band of the Sentry ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28407 )

Figurine of the Colossus ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27529 )
Adamantine Figurine ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27891 ) ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27770 )
Ideally the commendation but the 5v5 boss seems to hate me Embarassed

Merciless Gladiator Gavel ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32963 )
Merciless Gladiator Shield Wall ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32045 )
Libram of Repentance ( http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29388 )

Overall am I getting the right mix of gear? I have MT'd Kara and ZA up to dragonhawk but would like to step up to Gruul/Mag SSC/TK and am not sure of the next couple steps. Any and all help would be appreciated.

As Ulu said, get a real tanking ring instead of the PVP one.

I'd suggest aiming for the badge bracers instead of the one from Skyriss, just because it's tons easier to farm up the badges for that than to find consistent groups for HArc that don't suck.

DMC:V is another alternate for a stamina trinket. And yes, just keep running HMagT. Even if you never get the commendation, you can pick up the spell damage shield at exalted.

Get the badge legs you're aiming for first, then the badge ring. After that, consider buying the 2.3 badge bracers, they're superior to the Dignity ones.

Get your t4 chest and gloves as soon as possible they will help greatly with threat. Keep the Maiden ones around for boss fights though.

WOW you really really like H-Seth I take it ... thats admire not condem btw ... That many epic gems into a pair of blue pants you prob gonna toss very soon Smile

Okay you are way past uncrushable like 106% lose the block enchant off the shield straight +18 stam ... 104.29%

Fort enchant on your boots you will have them a while yet

You have will have at least http://www.wowhead.com/?item=29276 put it on rather than http://www.wowhead.com/?item=25541. If you are worried about your threat drop put spell damage or threat enchant on gloves because they are going to be with you along time anyhow.

Keep running kara and collecting badges and see what drops. When you have got 60 for the ring stop and look at gear and see if you can afford to hang out and go for the 100 badge legs instead.

Im only 5 badges away from pants. So with any luck i'll have them tonight.

Going for boars speed on boots, have over 100 spare badges on hunter so the pants are gonna get straight 15 stam gems. Im farming for threat to gloves and was only going for the arc wrists for threat w/spell dmg on them for aoe type pulls.

When you get the commendation can you realisticly lose a point or 2 in AD for POJ or imp SoC?

The dodge rating proc at <30% is pretty similar to AD. My healers are nowhere near t6 Wink so i kinda need the talent but i could use the points elsewhere as well.

If ifs feasable to lose a point or two i could put them in PoJ and just put for on the boots.

If it doesnt work like that i would go with boars speed.

Basically im trying to free up talent points to drop into either PoJ or ISotC

Yeah I see your predicament now, I think personally, that Boars Speed would be a better plan than losing AD at T5 level. I would also use the commendation alongside AD as their synergy is very powerful.

Sounds like a plan. Now for more h.mgt Crying or Very sad U know badge farming would be much faster if the instances i have to run dont result in a ton of wipes

Had a good night in kara last night along with picking up my badge pants. Lil fun run with the alts of one of the best guilds on the server. Ive never had to fight for aggro so hard before.... which brings me to my point Laughing

Should i sacrafice the hp/avoidance of the IGotM for T4 for the purpose of threat?

Seeing those 2 are a decent upgrade for you I would for sure get them. I only see a minus strenght and a bit of minus block.
