You might pick up (if you don't have it already) the 226 idol and get the agility (ap, etc.) it provides instead of the pure dodge on the 245.
For VH, if you could find a way to spec for 5/5 in furor you could shapeshift from one pack to another and have a bit of rage as you enter those fights. I find shifting to cat can make reaching some of the 4 packs easier at times and popping to bear with the rage is helpful.
Also, as mentioned above, once you have good aggro just tab white attack the packs hit you until they're dead so you pick up some rage.
I've experimented with tanking in my cat gear and am not yet convinced it makes a big difference for rage or threat -- but my cat gear is a couple ilevels below my bear.
Would be interested to hear how things go.

1. agi doesn't provide AP in bear form
2. You need to hit mangle to activate it, something you don't do in an aoe situation
Bottom line: use the 245 idol. I even prefer it over the 264 one for aoe.

you're right, i was in my cat frame of mind. I'd still go 226 for the armor, crit (bear shield), and dodge all benefitting from the agility.

On single targets I agree. On trash packs of 3 or more mobs, i go for the 245 trinket, because you don't have to throw a friggin mangle in there!
