Min-maxing my death knight tank
Hi there! I am currently trying to push the most out of my gear as a DK tank on Loraeron and I feel like I'm missing HP when it comes to min-maxing gemming and item selection. Here is a link to my armory - https://armory.warmane.com/character...daeron/summary.
Right now I sit at 40.875k HP and 37.1k armor in frost presence and horn of winter, exp soft cap with food and a bit over taunt hit cap by 6 points.
So some obvious upgrades would be sanctified pieces, the plagueworks 25 neck, RS25 boots, vdw 25 ring, sindy trink and the pp10 trinket, although access to most of these are limited to me at the moment as I am mostly a 10 man normal raider and MT for my guild (PuGs and alt runs for bigger guilds are my main hope atm for the 25 pieces and HC pieces much much further down the line). The upgrades I will purchase soon will be the skeleton key for magic fights and the EoF sigil.
I currently also require the defense gems as I am at 541 defense and would be under the min otherwise.
But here's my issue. I feel as if I am gemming for hit and expertise too much and losing too much stamina. One of the server's most geared BDK tanks told me to stop gemming for hit and exp at all and say **** it to those soft caps by gemming pure stamina. I also own the HC Abomination's Bloody Ring which can replace the Ony25 ring. I would lose some resistances and armor (36.3k self buffed) but I can freely gem for stamina as my hit would be way over cap at 295 with my current set up. I could also use the marrow 10 neckpiece, but idk if the armor loss and stamina and parry increase is worth it for physical fights.
How should I proceed?
Also here is the spec I normally use - https://wotlk.evowow.com/?talent#j0E...g0xcMIz:mpi0VM. One on my armory is something I'm testing.
