Fuzzy tank looking for opinions

I'm looking for some general advice for improvements to my spec and gear.
I've tanked all 10 man contentin Wrath so far. Malygos is the only raid boss we haven't downed, we tend to fail at 18%. As far as 25 mans go, my guild isn't large enough to to hit them regularly yet, but I have MT'd Spider and parts of Plague, as well as OS.
My role is MT of a casual raiding guild.
I realise I only have 1 JC exclusive gem in, that's something I'll be rectifying this week.
Any advice would be appreciated.

In short, I would move the three points from Intensity to King of the Jungle. Other than that, since you are the MT for the guild, the spec is solid, pure tanking.
Your gear is almost the best you can get from 10 man content, BUT you should make some adjustments. You are too low on hit rating in my opinion. A little more expertise would not hurt either. But the main focus is hit rating. I STRONGLY recommend that you use the
Gilt Edged Leather Gauntlets
from Heroic Utgarde Pinnacle and the
Boots of the Neverending Path
from Argent Crusade. They bring over 4% hit to the table. Try and get the
Deflection Band
or the
Titanium Earthguard Ring
socketed with 27 hit rating instead of your level 70 ring.
Other than that... If you get into some 25 man raids, use those emblems of valor to purchase the
Platinum Mesh Cloak
- it is about the best itemized cloak for bear tanks out there (although the Nerubhide cloak is excellent as well).
Other than that... Good luck!

I honestly don't see the value of KotJ for tanking. It's amazing kitty talent, but I don't use enrage enough while tanking to reap the benefits. Is there something I'm missing out on?
Definitely agree that I'm low on hit. I'll pick up the boots tonight, as I just hit exalted with AC. I'll keep an eye out for the gloves, but I haven't been running UP much lately.
As far as rings go, I've been out rolled on both the deflection band and hemhorraging circlet from Gundrak. I'm saving JC tokens to buy one of the 6 token patterns right now, I'll grab the Titanium Earthguard ring as a last resort if my luck stays poor.
I'm slowly gaining Valor tokens from pugged VoA/OS runs. The cloak will be a nice purchase, but is it worth dropping the tokens or should I save for the tier 7.5 tokens? Love the graphic though, I'd be able to turn show cloak back on if I bought it.
Cheers for the detailed answer ;)
