After talking with a few different tanks of all sorts and progression, I’ve re-done my BiS gear. It’s not the current stacking armor route that some go for. I believe this path will lead to a better result is most cases, but not all.
The difference between this gear set and a stacking armor one is the following-
These are the stats for each set, unbuffed
Armor Set Other Set Difference
37545 Armor 32857 Armor - 4688 Armor
562 Defense Rating 585 Defense Rating +23 Defense rating
32.09% Dodge 34.30% Dodge +2.21% Dodge
22.98% Parry 23.28% Parry +.30% Parry
10.88% Block 11.80% Block +.92% Block
149 Hit 223 Hit +74 Hit
28 Exp 28 Exp Even *Glyphed*
1845 Block Value 1845 Block Value Even
**Both of the listed sets above included 4p tier 10, so add that cooldown in for both sets if you would like.
Now, the difference in the armor is the most of any stat, and given that, its roughly a 3.13% Difference on a level 83 mob. Compare the differences in both sets, the “Other Set” come out to a .3% increase in avoidance. In the long run, its up to the tank and what they think is best, that was an agreement out of all the tanks I talked to. It also comes down to what you can get and drop rates.
Now, Ill also add that I kept the gems, and all the enchants but one(Glove enchant) the same for this side by side overview. You can gem at you own will, I went with pure Stamina for all sockets, and Id recommend agility/stamina for a few sockets for the armor set, or even both.
Ill start by listing my personal BiS List, with gems and enchant I plan to use.

Can swap with these based on what you need for certain fights etc.
**Id use this on a fight that I can keep the buff up. I find a lot of times that the stack falls or doesn’t get to a full 10 stack etc for most of the fight.
