If we are counting stuff we can get from the auction house, what about
Elementium Deathplate
and
Treads of Savage Beatings
as alternatives? Sort of a "if you have the money to burn, this is better" option?
Also, I meant to add, nice work man! Thanks for taking the time to do it :)

Awesome list - just a minor correction, Cloak drop location is wrong

Thanks, I've corrected it.
@ Thandion: I wanted this to be mainly just Heroic and Faction reward gear as not everyone has thousands of gold laying around. The only reason I suggested the Darkmoon Card is because it is the best in slot, not just pre-raid. I may add another section to it for BiS including crafted gear and BoE epics in the future though.

Epic neck from Ramkahen is missing.
Sword from Ozruk (Stonecore) is missing
I updated the necklace, however the weapon I listed is better than the one from Stonecore. It's very flexible with stats and has a nice chunk of Hit and Expertise so you can have less on gear.

Makes sense :)

Yes the Hyjal cloak and WH/DM boots have higher strength than any of the other gear, but there is a price. Even with reforging, any of that dodge or parry rating will hamper your dps. The other gear, while lower in strength, has other secondary stats that contribute to dps. I considered the boots, but I had several discussions with the more skilled ret paladins on my server. They all said no bueno to tank gear on a ret pally. Just remember, GC is watching you, trying to trip you up. =p
