you don't need much of anything but 5.40% crit reduction (535 def) to run heroics, when ppl first started hitting 80 they were jumping into them with 22k, nowadays everyone farming emblems has just become comfortable with seeing tanks with 30k+ as it speeds things up just like 3k+ dps, it's not needed but it speeds things up.

It might be true that they said it, but it isn't even close to true that you need it. Tempered Saronite and Tempered Titansteel pieces are more than enough to get you started in heroics.
535 defense and ~22k health with Frost Presence up is more than enough, so long as people don't expect you to AoE tank everything and your healer isn't asleep.

Well at first 27k was more then enough for naxx, but now people want 32k or at least 30k for naxx, since its so easy to gear up.

True but people expect epic gear tanks atm cause then healer and/or dps can slack a bit.

Yeah, what Zeek says, i started with dps and am now easily raiding all hc's .
The good point about it is you can need dps stuff aswell, so now if got both nice gears and im almost fully epic in both specs.

I started heroics with 21khp and 540def with many crafted saronite pieces. My first one was heroic UK and I simply told the group that invited me that I had 21khp but that I was def capped. I also told them that if I didn't cut it they could boot me or demote me to a dps role and that would be fine. I was able to get through UK without incident and from there started tanking the easier heroics, nex, vh, uk daily. Once i got up to 24-25k hp I stopped telling people my HP was low and they could boot me. Once i got into heroics it took me two weeks to get up to 32khp unbuffed, gearing up is a joke now, but at he begining just be humble and honest and if people dont want to run with you they aren't worth running with.

If you're specced and geared for Dps then by all means you can do a couple of N ToC runs and need/greed for offspec.
People can generally accept a lower dps than a crappy tank.
