Oh hello there...
So I imagine I'm telling the same old story, "LOL I WANT TANK GUD", but I am having some problems I imagine have to do with a combination of my gear and my strategy.
I recently got my warrior to level 80, and I wanted to start tanking some raids. I was told by some guildies that with 26k hp and 540 defense I could start with 10 man Naxx as offtank. I can pretty much tank any heroic just fine, expecially single target (I often have a very significant threat lead). But then came Naxx 10... I was to be offtanking, and we started with construct. The first pull I attempted to pull one of the abominations off the MT (death knight), but just his AoE alone generated significantly more threat than I could to a single target. The rest of the instance pretty much followed suit.
After looking at recount, I discovered a large portion of my attacks were being either parried, dodged, or just plain misses. With only 25900 hp unbuffed, should I replace some of my +stam gems with +hit or +expertise gems? Do I simply have to suck it up and say I need better gear before attempting to do raids? Should I drop down from 545 to exactly 540 defense, and attempt to gain expertise there?
tl;dr: HALP!
