A few facts before we start:
-I do not really have access to 25 man content.
-My pally hit 80 a few weeks ago so I missed Ulduar and most of the ToC runs.
I have been poking around with RAWR and it lists my available trinkets in this order:
Unidentifiable Organ
Black Heart
Glyph of Indomitably
Corroded Skeleton Key.
Would you agree?
My first glace says sure - but swap the last two on magic heavy encounters.
If you remove the black heart from that list, it gets a lot better. I know people swear by it, but in my opinion, tanking and procs don't mix.
then is it unquestionable that the Glyph is better then the Skeleton Key?
Right, I can't give you an end-all answer to that. Opinions are divided, and both camps have valid arguments, so here goes.
In my opinion, the glyph wins out over the skeleton key, but let me give you some arguments for both and you decide which one fits your style better.
The Glyph:
Armor makes you easier to heal and makes your blocks more potent.
The avoidance use effect is highly useful in certain fights.
The badges for purchasing it are plentiful, and it's easily one of the best tanking items you can buy for those badges.
The Key:
Gives you more EH then the glyph.
Stamina works versus all damage, not just against most damage.
The badges for purchasing it are scarce to say the least, and there are a ton of other good options available.
