My guildies got me thinking. If a tank instead of stacking Defense stacks Resilence next patch would that be better now that Resilence decreases crit and Overall damage couldn't a tank with 800+ resilience just tank and be better than a Defense stacking tank or is Me and my guildies just overthinking or misinterpretiging things,

Resil IS garbage for PvE. It does not add any avoidance; Defense will add to your dodge, block and parry chances. If a tank were to stack resil over defense, they would overwhelm their healers very quickly.

I think we need some number here before we say things like avoidance > mitigation, which is what you are comparing. Yes, tanks laugh at resilience, but if you can stack 800 resilience, maybe lose 10% avoidance and gain 30% mitigation, than the resilience is the clear winner.
What are the numbers? How much mitigation does 800 resilience give?

Against mobs? Nothing, it only reduces damage from players.

Makes sense, and i'm glad I don't have to learn to PvP all of a sudden.

Resilience is a very good stat filler if you want that extra avoidance/crit/health but can't afford to give up any defense. I always keep a pair of resilience enchanted shoulders in my back in case I'd fall a bit below the defcap.
Also resilience is the way to go when you're doing heroics if you're playing a warrior and want to be able to generate any rage at all, since avoidance will completely kill you here.
Just remember that resilience doesn't do anything but reduce the chance for you to be critted :P
