Ok, I've done the searches, and I'm still not a lot clearer in my mind about my swag of trinkets and where they are most appropriate for each boss. So, I want to make a clear to read cheat sheet so I know when I tank a boss, which trinks I should be taking, whether I'm tank or off tank.
Now, a lot of what I write here will likely be in error, because I have much more experience healing in ICC than tanking, so contributions and corrections are not only welcome, they are encouraged. Also, is something like this has already been written, let me know.
This is mostly from the point of view of a PROTECTION WARRIOR. This will be a work in progress for a while.
Commonly seen trinkets used in ICC:
Stamina based trinks
Blackheart (On equip stamina, on proc armor)
Sindragosa's Flawless Fang (On equip stamina, on use increased resistance)
Corroded Skeleton Key (On equip stamina, on use damage absorb)
Juggernaut's Vitality/Satrina's Impending Scarab - referred collectively as Jugg's vitality (On equip stamina, on use increased max health)
Essence of Gossamer (On equip stamina, on proc reduced damage)
Armor based trinks
