I'm wearing 4t4, Vengeful Chest, Badge of Tenacity, Great Beast, Swift Paw, exalted Violet Signet, Boots of Natural Grace, and Wildfury Greatstaff, and I'm sitting in the 33k armor range: no where near the 35,800 armor cap for bosses. I don't even wear my t5 shoulders since they're a huge downgrade in armor from 4t4 for a minor upgrade in stats (and I don't have any other t5 due to bad luck). With the +25% armor bonus from shaman and priest crits I'm well over the cap, but I can't really rely on that being on me all the time.

Am I doing something wrong, or are people talking out their asses about hitting the armor cap in t4/t5 gear?

You can hit the armor cap in T5 gear. Irregardless the difference between 33k armor and the armor cap is so neglible that you probably wouldn't even notice if you actually were at the cap. Once you get beyond 29k unbuffed you should focus more on getting your dodge up to a good level to help with your avoidance as being just one big mana sponge isn't very fun in the end.
