Hey again guys. Simple question. Ive been progressing the last 2 weeks and finally closing full t9 etc. If u look at my armory, what is the next item i should get?
Also, now judging by my crappy cloak. Should i buy the corroded skeleton key or the frost emblem cloak? Any views?
THanks :)

The cloak, hands down. Look up the number of potential upgrades and how to obtain them.
The trinket is mediocre, 600 hp and a weak on use effect over the ilvl200 stam mugs for 60 frost emblems? no thanks.
As always, gear for the biggest gain. If you don't know about the benefits of armor and effective health, you might change your views on gearing.
Every raid encounter has a minimum amount of health that tanks need to survive a few hits (I generally go with 3 to be safe) and once you reach that point, I usually start stacking armor until my gear reaches a point where sta can allow me to survive 4 hits. I go back and forth as gear gets better, switching trinks per fight and setup. Ask yourself, Once you can survive 3 hits, does it matter if you survive by 1hp or 7000 hp? it's just buffer for the healers.

A word on the whole blindly, "stack moar sta!" trend and how it's the best since it works for magic damage too, etc. Bosses are tuned to deal a certain amount of damage to tanks and the raid, tank damage is from melee hits and raid is usually magic.
When the raid damage hits the tank, any healer can tell you, it's practically nothing compared to a regular hit and there is usually a castbar so tanks dont get hit with both at the same time.
Just food for thought for those that say, "STA >>> j000! RAWR!" I'd say it's armor that is most important since it's so much more difficult to get (Which the cloak has plenty of =)). Ask a good healer if he would rather heal a 60k tank for 3 hits of 13k or a 42k tank for hits of 8k in the same fight? think about it.
tl:dr; armor is goodly, yes, goodly
