That was Tomas if I'm not mistaken.
Like I tell most people, I suggest you utilize
warcrafter
One example of what you can do is resocket your chest with 4 defense and 6 stamina on the first socket to match the socket bonus for the 4 block rating.
That 4 block rating will allow you to have more leeway for replacing another gear or so.
That being said, your pants can also take stamina instead of hybrid gems.

I was about to say that as well, but once you head into ZA you lack a lot of defense points.
Added to that total Stamina on Stoic Guardian would be 105 (with 3 15 stamina gems), and Stoicism would be 93.
In trade for +29 defense and -4 dodge
It's extremely similar in terms of helping survival, only slightly in favor of Stoic Guardian.

Ok, if you've just finished kara, chances are you're not going to SSC, TK, BT, MH, SW
You're going to Gruuls, Mags, and ZA
out of the three, you're going into ZA the most, it has the shortest hard reset timer, and you'll get the most out of ZA. and you'll be using that defense-lacking gear until you get into T6 content in a good probability
It won't kill you to use stoicism until you get T6 or par imo

From farming ZA to warlocks with T6 bonuses, is a big jump. Even with over 700 spelldamage, any warlock worth his salt can steal aggro from you, if he truely dpses.
Righteous Defense, then BoP
if all else fails, Divine intervention
I like to see you steal aggro from that!

Before you buy anything with Badges, take a look at this
MMO Champion
post, where the good people from MMOC show how some items are being changed in 3.0.0
