Gear upgrade dilemma

Right now I think I'm facing a dilemma of gear upgrade. My dodge is slightly low, and blocking is more than I needed. Besides, I still need to upgrade my blue neck and shoulder. However, my guild want to run ZA more. We are only beginning ZA (downed 3 bosses so far), so not much hope for the timed-loots. Therefore, the possible tanking loots for me from there are limited. There are 40 BoJs in my bank right now, but if I buy the 35 BoJs neck with it, my dodge will suffer even more.

So my current plan is keep farming BoJs until I have enough to buy the chest or belt, then buy the neck next. But the farming is so painful since we won't raid Kara much.

Any suggestions?

Ok, to be more specific, I almost have enough BoJs for the next upgrade. I still am choosing among Girdle of the Protector, Iron tusk Girdle and Chest guard of the Stoic Guardian (15 more BoJs for this though). Which one should I choose?

Which part of "get the chest" gave you problems?

Absolutely the chest piece. It's just insane. If you're having uncrushability problems, maybe the leggings. I seriously considered them, but I'm trying to figure out how to be a hybrid.

Personally I don't think the boots are that good. Almost no avoidance. The Jungle Stompers are much better. The Pally tank belt is pretty decent if you need spell damage and hit, otherwise the iron tusk belt is good.
If you have the maiden neck, I wouldn't bother trading it out for awhile. The pants are very nice.

I got my chest first, then pants. Those pants are a HUGE upgrade. tons of stam on them.

I can't say I'm a huge fan of the neck for much other than warrior/druid threat gear. High expertise, hit, and stamina makes it an excellent piece for that goal, but somewhat lackluster elsewhere. The chest and legs, however, are excellent defensive equipment, even competing with some loot from BT/Hyjal. I'd definitely say get those first, even if your current neck is a weakpoint - you'll use the legs/chest longer, and if you can get the necklace from maiden, it's not even worth getting the brooch as a paladin in my opinion.
