Defense on level 80 starter tank gear
Just a very rough post to show that the gear is indeed out there to achieve 540 defense pre-Naxx.
1 Def skill @80 = 4.918498039 Def rating
Rating required for 540 Def (140 skill) = 689
77 Ley-Guardian's Legguards
76 Breastplate of the Solemn Council
71 Daunting Handguards
65 Seal of the Pantheon
61 Ground Tremor Helm
58 Sabatons of Draconic Vigor
42 Cloak of the Enemy
42 Waistguard of the Risen Knight
38 Dragonflight Great-Ring
33 Shadowseeker's Pendant
29 Crusader's Square Pauldrons
28 Band of Torture
27 Bindings of Dark Will
22 Enchant Chest - Greater Defense
16 Enchant Cloak - Titanweave
12 Enchant Bracer - Major Defense
697 total without any weapon, shield, glyph, armor kit or defense gems, and only one trinket.
Edit: lol, apparently this blog entry is 1337.

Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Calculator
You can lookup where some of the items come from on Wowhead. I found all of them by searching for ilevel 180 or above rare items with Defense.

Information on where to get the items will fill up over time as more people run into them in the beta.Posted 09-29-2008 at 11:12 AM by Armstrong

Hey thug, have you equipped your tabard? I've ground up to honored just through instance runs and it appears you still get rep at honored when you have the tabard on (at least on heroic difficulty).Posted 10-09-2008 at 09:55 AM by Paramount

I hit 535 Defense on my tank last night when I dinged 76 and I could easily go over the 540 mark with the Major Defense Bracer Enchant. Here is the gear and enchants that have defense ratings:
Tempered Saronite Helm
Tiled-Stone Pendant
Tundra Pauldrons
Screeching Cape - Titanweave Enchant
Tempered Saronite Breastplate
Expelling Gauntlets
Tempered Saronite Belt - +6 Defense Gem
Void Sentry Legplates - + 12 Defense Gem
Boots of the Unbowed Protector
Signet of Arachnathid Command
Tooga's Lost Toenail
Adamantine Figurine
Regal Protectorate
Crescent of Brooding Fury
Riot Shield - +20 Defense Enchant
Sorry I am a noob here and I have no idea how to link to WowHead. If anyone cares to post instructions I will include links next time
