Time for Heroic?

I've a 340 ilevel with 180k hp buffed. Items are enchanted (not the top tier ones as Maelstrom Crystals are too pricey) decently. Have about 1/2 359 gear, 1/4 346, and 1/4 333.
Dodge: 14.16%
Parry: 14.63%
Block: 37.75%
So no soft cap for me.
I seem to get my ass handed to me on heroic, yet breeze through normal.
Have been searching out some 'min requirement' threads, but am coming up empty. Any advice by chance?

I reforged a lot for Parry. Thought it was important. Guessing it's all about Stam and Mastery in order to shoot over to that Soft Cap?
Will toss up a link in a few. Mid run.
CD's are used when they're up. Always.
Tanks much for the advice.
*EDIT*
I'm well aware my gear is ass, character is horrid, and it's all manner of fubar right now. Hence me poking my nose in here for advice. Brownie points for my other 4 85's.

everything that doesn't have mastery should be reforged to mastery (i.e. both trinkets).
gems have been gone over many times, but the basics are:
red = 20 parry/20 mastery
yellow = 40 mastery
blue = 20 mastery/30 stam
prismatic = 40 mastery
you don't need BiS enchants, but you are missing some cheap ones. earthen vitality to boots, cheap leg patch, etc.
shield spike is bad - get block rating.
35 strength to gloves is bad - get mastery or armor
do those things and you'll have an easier time in heroics. you will still probably want to CC.

Well god damn. That was pretty useful. Thanks to you both.
The shoulder enchants will have to stay as Honored. I don't have the drive to get a 3rd toon to exalted with Therazane again. Maybe with the tabard on in time.
Had no clue Mastery was so vital for Warriors. Might be why I was eating my balls in Heroics.
Made the changes shown above. Was hard letting go of all the blue gems. I'm a stam *!@#$ I found out. Still only at 46% block sadly. Couldn't pull off a 50%.

why didn't you take toughness?
you don't want 10% extra armor... o.O

I do now. Haven't looked at my talents in a long time. I rarely use HS (if ever), so there's no reason why I shouldn't pick up toughness.

Arms tree isn't used.
Redid Prot. Got a couple new items. With a proper healer it's a lot easier to tank now. Thx much for the advice.

gear looks much better now. your spec is ok, but could tweak it a bit depending on what you're doing.
incite is actually pretty meh for heroics since 90% of the time you're using cleave instead of HS. blood craze, although it sounds nice, is almost worthless. vigilance is ok, but really not needed in heroics.
so that frees up 7 talent points (plus one you haven't used, so 8).
cruelty (2) and war academy (3) are excellent threat talents. if you put 3 into war academy, that unlocks your best threat talent of all - deep wounds (3). there's your 8 points and a much better build for heroics.
