Your avoidance is what it is. There aren't any minimums. Your overall gear should be of an item level that is one step below the tier you are trying to raid. If you are raiding 10 man ToC (drops 232 gear), then you should be in (more or less) full 219 gear. If you are doing 10 man ToC Hardmode (drops 245 gear), you should be in nearly full 232 gear at least. If you are raiding Icecrown (Tier 10, drops 251 on 10-man and 264 on 25-man), then you should be in nearly full 232 for 10 man and nearly full 245 for 25 man.
If you have roughly that gear, then you'll have roughly the right amount of dodge, parry, and block.
You shouldn't be using any gear with Block Rating on it, unless you absolutely have to, so your block rating should be around 16-17% or so (5% base, 5% from Shield Spec, and 6.xx% from Defense Rating). A "good" amount of Dodge and Parry would be around 26% dodge and 18% parry. It should be pretty easy to get more than that. .
Your gear is fine to raid ICC 10 and 25 man I'd say. You could fix some gems and enchants though.
Gems: The helm, for example, it's dumb not to go for the 12 stamina socket bonus. Socket with 10 Defense/15 Stamina, you give up 3 Stamina and gain 10 Defense, a great trade. Low level gem in your cloak. Low level gems in your chest, and you should consider a Defense/Stamina gem in the yellow socket to pick up the +9 Stamina bonus. +20 Defense gem in your Bracer prismatic is wrong, it should be +30 Stamina. The nightmare tear in your gloves is a waste. Either match with Defense/Stamina or just Straight Stamina if you don't care for the +6 stamina bonus. Low level gem in Belt. Parry/Stamina in legs is wrong, it should be Dodge/Stamina or Expertise/Stamina (since you are under 26 Expertise). The +20 Defense in the blue socket in your ring is wrong on multiple levels, it should +30 Stamina.
Enchants: Weapon enchant is a junk weapon chain, but it's a junk weapon so I won't harp on it too much; you can go with any of the choices here (Accuracy, Blood Draining, Mongoose, or Bladeward). 20 Defense can be traded for 18 Stamina, but that's a personal-ish choice. Low level leg enchant.
Making all those changes will boost your stamina by around 120 or so, which will boost your health by about 1400, putting you at a more solid 38000 health.
For your spec, I'd drop the 3 points in Puncture and move those to Fury for 3 points in Armored to the Teeth. That extra 700 or so attack power will be a nice threat boost.
