Dont gem pure stat gems unless its +30 stam gems. With your current gear, gem defense, expertise and stamina only. Fill the yellow slots with
this
red with
this
and blue with +30 stam.
Your build and glyphs are fine, but if you find yourself getting killed to often then do a more survival based build, just search the forums for one. And nightmare tear is a dps gem, besides putting it in the belt buckle slot is a waste since you can put any gem there.

mostly, your gems are wrong - masti gave some good tips for those. dodge/stam or parry/stam are also fine for red slots. never, ever gem for hit as a tank, and every gem you use should have some stamina (either 15 or 30).
just so you know, prismatic gems don't have to go in prismatic slots - the point of prismatics is the gems fit ANY color and the slots take ANY gems. almost always, 30 stam is the way to go for your belt buckle.
enchants are ok, with a couple exceptions:
-chest should be either 22 defense or 275hp.
-boots are ok, but i prefer the 15 stam + run speed.
-40 stam to bracers

1) don't change your gearing strategy for ICC. the debuff is just because avoidance levels got much higher than blizz wanted them to.
2) you are misinformed. defense is about equal to dodge in terms of how much avoidance it gives you - 540 is a MINIMUM, not a maximum.
3) if you are having threat problems, it's not because of your hit and expertise. even with zero hit, you will only miss 8% of the time. expertise is a little more, and the "soft cap" of 26 is nice, but certainly not necessary.
4)+10 is ok for dps, but really weak for tanking. the 10 strength is barely noticeable for tanks, and the 10 agility is not much better.
+10 nightmare tear: 10 stam vs. 30 stam = easy choice, stam wins.
+10 stats: 10 stam vs. 275 hp = easy choice, 275 hp wins.

Defense still provides avoidance, but distributed to all the stats, miss, dodge, parry, block. So no its not a waste to have more then 540 defense. Im saying if you need to get a slot bonus that is yellow then use a +10 defense 15 stam gem.
Expertise is more important then hit, most of the tanks aren't hitcapped, since other stats are more important. remember you have a fast weapon as tank, and missing 1% of the attacks is not ideal, but neither that big of a deal.
Health is the main thing you need as tank after getting uncrittable, so 10 stat< then 275 health enchant on chest. Same with nightmare tear, 10 stat< then 30 stam.
