So far so good. Don't hate on Stamina too much tho, sometimes its needed for fights. especially when you get to heroic content. Keep that in mind when you do your write up for "Vial" and "Worm"
Cheers,
Hat

No, it's not bad form, report your thread so that mods can see it.
It is bad form, however, to have grammar and spelling mistakes, I suggest running a spellcheck on it.
Some of the sentence structures are also redundant, but I'll assume that English isn't your native tongue.
Skardyn's Grace
285 AGI ~ 0.93% dodge with 1.40 crit
Missing a % sign there.
Bedrock Talisman
1285 Armor ~ Around .5% Exact Dam Reduct Needed
You can't get exact numbers since armour scales at a curve.
Formatting preferences:
Darkmoon Card: Earthquake
321 Dodge ~ 1.82% Dodge
11500 HP OU
15 sec dur 3 min CD ~ 8.33% UT
Vial of Stolen Memories
482 Stamina ~ 8435 HP
1605 Dodge OU ~ 9.08% Dodge
20 sec dur 2 min CD ~ 16.667 % UT Standard
Why aren't these bolded like the other ones?
Also, for the Earthquake trinket, it would be nice to have the reforged numbers.
Use the \ tags instead of \
tags
Vial of Stolen Memories
looks better than Vial of Stolen Memories
It'd be also nice to have the average stats (Uptime x proc), 267.5 dodge rating for
Vial of Stolen Memories
.
Instead of using bold text, you can use bullet points
Vial of Stolen Memories
482 Stamina ~ 8435 HP
267.5 Dodge rating average
1605 Dodge OU ~ 9.08% Dodge
20 sec dur 2 min CD ~ 16.667 % UT Standard
Yes it has stamina that isn't what we normally go for, but the OU effect is great. This trinket is perfect for fights that need high avoidance in bursts, as using it with a minor CD will just enhance its effect. The stamina is also great for Magic heavy fights. This is a great trinket even with the stamina and shouldn't be passed up.

Great guide. Follow blademeld's formatting advice, and it will be superb.

If the OP doesn't make the change as the post above, I'll probably go and edit it in at some point soon (feel free to report again in a few days or something, if he hasn't).

I thought MoD was the format guy.

I thought they were all sort of format guys. As far as I knew that was part of the job reqs.

Yeah, but some like it more than others.
Although now that I think about it,
he did help me format one of my RP threads
(about a third of the way down).

I have a question here, let's see if you guys can help me out:
At the moment, I have 3 trinkets which I can use:
Mirror of Broken Images
,
Throngus's Finger
and
Lifebound Alchemist Stone
. I intend to use only 2 of them, no switching at all ( I know I could use like 3~4 trinkets for procs and all, but I'm really not bothering with this right now).
Which one would you choose? I'm currently using
Throngus's Finger
and
Lifebound Alchemist Stone
, and I'm too afraid to switch the Stone for the Mirror, mainly because of my health pool (147K unbuffed).
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance :)

I wish I could change your mind on this, because as a tank, having back up gear, resist gear, stam gear, avoidance gear and threat gear is pretty useful, and trinkets are some of the easiest things to swap and keep in your bags.

In my personal opinion
Mirror of Broken Images
is one of the best tanking trinkets tanks have ever had access too. Not only does it give a sizable portion of damage mitigation, but it has an INCREDIBLY strong magic damage reduction use on a very short CD. You should defiantly be using this trinket 90% of the time.
Lifebound Alchemist Stone
has less stamina than hits ilevel equivalents, but it makes up for that with the passive mastery boost. This should be your second choice for 90% of your tanking encounters. It will give you a good stamina avoidance balance when used with the Mirror.
Throngus's Finger
should stay in your bags. In 5 man encounters, this trinket will give you more damage avoidance than the Stone, and while you lose some health, the health requirements for 5 mans are less than that off raids. This trinket will make the damage you take less spikey.
Cheers,
Hat

I was thinking about using
Mirror of Broken Images
with glyphed
Divine Protection
in a macro, to really reduce incoming magical damage.
I'll probably use
Throngus's Finger
and
Mirror of Broken Images
for standard purposes. The problem is, with
Lifebound Alchemist Stone
I have 149K HP (not 147K) and without it, the health drops to 142K...pretty lame.
