Please help the noob! (me)
I am a warrior and will soon be lvl 80. My guild really needs some tanks and so they have asked me to become one.
Can someone tell me what is the best gear for a lvl 80 warrior tank that I can easily get without running dungeons or raids?

Oh, and get an engineer to make you Armored Titanium Shotgun for your ranged slot. You meant
Armor Plated Combat Shotgun
, right?

Everything on the guy is crafted or quested. The guy is level 80, and his defense is 538, which is over the cap for heroics. The guy does not have a shield, or a tanking weapon, so if he was a paladin or a warrior he could easilly get capped by equipping one. In case of a death knight.. he could equip a two hander with the RoSG to get capped. His hp is pretty low, avoidance too, but... its like impossible to run through a heroic without bumping into any tank drops, and all the gear can be easilly upgraded.
A guy with equip like this would not probably be very desirable for instances, but even someone with such equipment could tank most HCs. The most important thing is... gear is less important than skill. A good tank player could off-tank Naxx 10 right of the bat with those items.

For a good tanking weapon, make sure you do this quest:

Make sure you pick up the weapon that fits your racial (if you have one), ie. mace for dwarf, mace/sword for human, axe for orc.
For a good shield, have someone craft a
Titansteel Shield Wall
for you or pick it up from AH. They're reasonably cheap to get to be honest.

Easily attainable set if you run heroics for a week or so:

Puts you above the raid defense minimums, with plenty of health, and a not terrible amount of avoidance. If you don't plan on being a JC, just get rid of the Dragon's Eyes and substitute with regular Solid gems. Also, if you're not a warrior, just substitute the two tier pieces (which you can get with EoH) with the appropriate classes' tier.
