Hmm, you have shit loads of blues that can easily be replaced by epics from badges along with normal totc and all the other heroics.

I reakonmend you start there and upgrade your gear alot.
most grps wont take you with that many blues as it shows little exp in heroics.

Totc Normal is about mid level between the existing normal dungeons and their heroic counterparts

Totc is mid between Existing Heroics and 10mans

If you must run Hc Totc then:

Your gonna want to be running with 2.5K dps minimum.

For 1st boss you definately need a healer or dps who can remove poison, but this is only if you get the Rogue boss aka Dwarf

2nd boss is just luck really, if you get Ealdric your laughing, but some of the priestess's images even i struggled with at 30-35K hp unbuffed (probably healers fault)

3rd boss you ideally want a disease removing class along with paladin or priest for frost and shadow resistance

More hp generally = a bigger buffer so you can take more damage in the periods the healer has to focus on dps or is unable to heal.

i've looked at your armory, i do believe you are still a bit undergeared for HToC. I would suggest finding yourself a good healer and some aware DPS and farm Reg ToC for all the Tank item drops. Once you get all the Reg ToC and a badge item or 2, i believe you should be ready for HToC.

Not going to lie, prob will be rough as i find nobody wants a tank below 30k health these days *at least on my sever*. I'm also hoping you did the brewfest runs cuz those 2 sta trinkets would be better then your current trinkets.

Also, from everything i've read i'm not aware of defence having a cap. I'm assuming your referring to being Raid Crit Immune.

Just a little heads up aswell ... a lot of your gear has a ton of def on it. Much of the gear you will be replacing your gear with does not have as much. I would also farm Reg HoL for the Defence trinket ... you may find it comes in handy otherwise you may find a lot of gems filling the defence difference.

You should remember that TOC5/h drops like Ulduar/10 so you should treat it as such. You shouldn't go near that place if you are not pushing 30k hp unbuffed while sitting at around 50% avoid. Stuff in there hits like a truck if you are undergeared.
Do your dailies, grab some badges until you are not blue equipped then find an overgeared healer because this instance demands quite a bit from the healer.

Problem is that in TOC5/h groups do fall apart quite quickly because especially DPS does expect to be carried thru.
