Hello,
I play a lvl 69 DK, and desperately want to get him geared (tank or DPS, anything at this point!) but keep getting stuck with jerks by dungeon finder. They either laugh at my HP, or my Gear, so how's a guy to get awesome gear if he can't instance? Help!
Here's my toon:

Any suggestions on gear or anything would be much appreciated!
(but if you laugh...I will hunt you down!)

i'm gonna be honest because it'll be better for you in the long run. First off you shouldn't tank anything in northrend. you have zero tanking gear on. the only thing that's remotely tanking is you have swordshattering on your weapon. all your gear is str/agi/crit gear which means your hp is too low, your gonna take way too much dmg to be healable even by a good healer, and it shows that you don't know how to tank. This is the main reason when you show up as a tank in the dungeon finder people kick you or leave. Because they know automatically that it's not gonna go well.
Honestly i'd recommend not trying to tank until you've collected a full tanking set. just queue up as a dps and try to collect some tanking gear along the way till you have a full set. Yes i know the queue takes longer but atleast then you'll be able to play with a group. Read some stickies on a good dps build.
I don't like to say things like that but i think that's the best advice i can give you so you understand the situation you put yourself in when you join as a tank. Read the stickies about tanking if you want to tank. learn what kind of gear you need, how to spec properly, what skills you should be using, and in what rotation to use them in.
If you want groups to take you seriously when you join as a tank. Their first impression of you is gonna be important. Do you have tanking gear? Are you specced to tank? these are the questions they'll ask themselves...especially for a dk...then lastly they'll see if you even know what your doing. Dks are already discriminated against so be prepared to be put under a microscope the moment you join a group.

Dont go IIT spec, it sucks. Take something like
this
. And get the cobalt set, it rocks for tanking. Put stoneskin gargoyle runechant on your weapon and you are good to go. Dont gear for int, spi or agi, those stats are useless. Go for str, stam, def, AP and crit.
