In this particular instance i'm asking about
Helm of the Proud
vs.
Anomuran Helm
The first is a 'true' tanking helm, whereas the latter would yield more mastery, with the crit reforged to dodge/parry.
How much of other stats do you sacrifice to gain mastery?

Each point of mastery = 2.25% of block so Anomuran Helm has 1.02 mastery = 2.295% block which is always rounded down.
If you reforge 64 points from crit to either dodge or parry that's another (64 / 176.71899) = 0.36% chance to dodge / parry.
Helm of the Proud has 1.6% combined Dodge + Parry along with a nice +45 stam socket bonus for using a green (Mastery / Stam) gem.
So you sacrifice ~1.24% to not get hit at all and take no damage to get ~2% chance to block and take 30% less damage.
Personally if you can afford the 2200 points get the
Helm of the Proud
. If you already have
Anomuran Helm
and are low on points reforge it and keep farming heroics for more points and maybe get other justice point items to replace low ilevel gear first.
Do yourself a favor and get helm of the proud before starting to seriously raid 10 / 25 man content. Of course Valiona will drop
Daybreaker Helm
the first time you kill her but eh.... LOL

Great post, but you missed reforging and strength.
Reforge
Helm of the Proud
for Mastery and get 57 Mastery rating.
The total then becomes 0.803% + 0.481% = 1.284% avoidance,0.715% block and 0.444% parry from strength.
Compared to 0.379% avoidance, 2.284% block and 0.356% parry from strength in
Anomuran Helm
.
That's 0.905% avoidance, 0.088% parry from strength and 45 stamina in exchange for 1.569% block.
