You know what? Nevermind.
I just put together your entire list of gear (save for shoulders), and came up with the following:
Eanin's Failsafe Uncrushability Guide
Really, getting to uncrittable isn't hard at all. Especially if you include things like enchants and gems.
I just wanna check but is my sheild an equivalent to the wayward footman, its the shield of the void from mana tombs:

This is a really, really awesome guide. I've thought about writing one like this up myself, but never have.
If I were to make two suggestions, they would be:
1) Fewer choices, and more hierarchy when there are choices - for example, you have to get Revered with KoT for the Glyph, so just get the Timewarden's already. They'll last you until Wrynn's or the Badge legguards. And IMHO Crystalforged > Continuum, as it has avoidance stats - it's the only weapon in the game that is obviously expressly for Tankadins. Also, Nexus-Guard shoulders pwn Warchief's, again, IMHO.
2) Throw the uncrushability macro on the end of the post. For people with any concerns about their numbers, that macro is a must. And it remains a must when you do things like upgrade to a Crest of the Sha'tar, which will often have less avoidance stats on it than your previous shield.
Again, REALLY awesome guide. The majority of the stuff you mentioned was the stuff that got me there. Great work!

Wonderful!!! Thanks for the great information! Getting the 490 defense was no problem for me, but trying to get my avoidance to 102.4 has proven difficult.
I actually have most of the gear you listed; just needed to be sure of what enchants and gems would be the best for each item.

Thank you so much for posting this. My pally just hit 69, and I was wondering what I needed to grab so I could start raiding asap. I'm pretty happy with the list you've accumulated. I have a bit of it already :] Do you have an estimate to what this would put your overall health at?
Awesome, thanks alot, been looking through tonnes of different gears, i hope this will complete alot of what i'm looking for.

Human Pally, with Eanin's gear guide. Aldor/Scryer Neutral. No majorly expensive crafted gear. Only necessary reputation requirements are Revered with Keepers of Time. you'll get that easily with 1 run of Old Hillsbrad + 4-5 runs of Black Morass.
Obviously time spent earning Scry/Aldor rep, or time spent leveling engineering, or blacksmithing, or buying crafted gear will significantly improve this gear setup. I just put together the gear on the list with the least time investment involved.
Gems and enchant materials should be fairly easy to obtain as cash isn't hard to earn after 70.

Thanks for the compliments and comments everyone . I'm glad to see that the guide is making an impact.
Freakaydin98: The choices are deliberate. The idea was to give one option that had more mitigation, and the other that had more uncrushability. You're right, Timewarden's Leggings are much better than Resolute Defender, but the Resolute Defender has about 2% more uncrushability. I wanted to give people some options levelling up. As for the macro, it's not a bad idea, but I think my adding up method is easier, and has the advantage of being usable while out of game (I cheat a little bit, since I have it on a spreadsheet). Also, tank points will let you know when you are uncrushable. Nonetheless, I've added Baelor's macro.
Beltaine: It's fun to see the suggestions on warcrafter. You cheated, though. The Steamhinge Chain of Valor is a drop, so unfortunately, Cenarion Revered is pretty much a necessity. Also, honored Scryer or Aldor are very helpful; I noticed the gear you showed was 0.3% shy of uncrushable. Swap the Chain for Strength of the Untamed and add either the honoured Aldor or Scryer shoulder enchant, and you've made an uncrushable set requiring not a single lucky drop.
Getting both of these reps are very easy levelling up. For Cenarion, just make sure you do the unidentified plants part quest before you do any other quests (check out the wowwiki guide). You can slso get Scryer or Aldor honored without a single turn in, just by doing all the quests in Netherstorm and Shadowmoon. Check out the Scryer and Aldor guides.

Only went with the Steam-Hinge because I actually had it drop before I am finished with Cenarion Rep
Shifted a red dodge gem into the helm. We're good now
The trick is most people will run across gear improvements over this gear along the way. I was just going for a bare minimum with minimum effort
That, and I'm addicted to Warcrafter Sandbox
