Alright i'm feeling as if i take to much damage in raids or heroics, I am trying to be a main tank and need any sort of advise on my gear to Reforging or any recommendations, I'm not having trouble keeping threat or anything just i feel like damage is low and i get hit to hard. My dps as tank is usually 23-32k dps in 10man raids. i got my rotation down for most part.

It's hard to tell without seeing a log from some of your fights, but one thing I can tell is that you seem to have gone for an avoidance stat priority. This is the most volatile way of gearing, and it can definitely result in you taking spikes of damage and dropping low on health or dying.

It can also cause your DPS to suffer greatly. In your case, I see that both your Hit and your Expertise are low. I'd advise you to reforge massively to Hit and Expertise, as this will give you better Holy Power generation, buffing your active mitigation. Also, it's going to improve your DPS considerably.

Alternatively, you can go for a mitigation-oriented priority, putting Mastery above everything else. This is going to make the damage you take smoother.

Although of the two, I'd really advise you to go for Hit and Expertise. Feel free to post back with any further information.

Personally what i think is best is to get hit and expertise capped at 7.5% each then i have gone with Mastery>Parry>Dodge but i am gemming for stamina, exp/stam and hit/stam. It makes for pleasant tanking i dont seem to have any issues in any areas at the moment.
