I have found many tank who THINK they are geared for Kara are often mistaken. Here is a basic rundown of what you need and where to get it. First and foremost you need to be uncrittable. Uncrittable= +490 defense rating. This is one of the few non-negotiables for Kara. You can get buy with less then desired health, but you need to be uncrittable. Adding points into Defense skill in the prot tree helps things quite a bit.
This will take time and effort to pull off! Still, makes you pretty desirable for ANY group.....even heroics!
Here are a few options in regards to gemming items with + Defense Rating (DR).
Scroll down to the bottom of this page for information on +DR gems
Glyph of the Defender is an enchant offered from the Keepers of Time and provides +16 DR and +17 dodge rating to your helm
Great Helm of the Unbreakable provides +30 DR and drops from the first boss in Shattered Halls
Platinum Shield of the Valorous offers +24 DR. This drops off the first boss in Shadow Labs
Adamantine Figurine offers +32 DR. This drops from the second boss in Shadow Labs.
Figurine of the Colossus has +0 DR, but is a nice piece to round things off. It drops the last boss in Shattered Halls
Sha'tari Vindicator's Waistguard offers 20 DR
Obsidian Clodstompers offers +0 DR, but has two yellow sockets for a possible +16 DR. These drop from the second boss in Botanica
Shoulderguards of the Bold offers +17 DR with a yellow socket to add +8 DR. These drop from Murmur in Shadow Labs and Warlord Kalithresh in Steamvaults
Breastplate of the Bold has +19 DR. This drops from Harbring Skyriss in Arcatraz
Vindicator's Hauberk is another nice chest piece with a whopping +46 DR!
Inscription of Warding offers a little dodge rating if you are honored with Aldor
Inscription of the Knight offers +13 DR and is an inscriptions from the Scryer faction
Timewarden's Leggings has +18 DR and are a Rep reward from the Keepers of Time
Burnoose of Shifting Ages offer +26 DR. This drops from the first boss in Black Morass (Dark Portal)
Protector's Mark of Redemption offers +26 DR. You get this item from a quest The Path Of Conquest and is for both Horde and Alliance.
Felsteel Gloves offer +25 DR. These are crafted and pretty easy to get.
This will get you up to 261 DR not including any gems or enchants. Granted, I am missing a neckpiece, weapon, gun, and additional ring from this equation. I apologize, but I don't have the items to display anymore. If you find em let me know so I can update this entry!
The other thing you will want for Kara is a minimum of 11,000 life. The items listed above should cover quite a bit of that area. You will need to invest in a few enchants and lots of Solid Star of Elune to cover the missing ground.
