With the new armor updates today and the updated tanking compilation on the last page I threw everything into rawr with stam in mind and came out with 10% less avoidance or so then the other set but over 5k more health. For me personally upgrading with every single Sunwell item would yield a little over 2% more dodge and 3.5k more health while staying armor capped. Upgrading all my cat stuff is over 350 dps, I don't even think I'll bother with tanking upgrades till after dps this time around.
A potentially interesting note: my max hp with every buff and a nightmare seed is a little over 30k on live and 33.5k with full Sunwell.

fun thing about the Sunwell trading system now is.. You actually have to screw several people over to get your tanking gear. Example, to get the pants from vendor, the Immortal beast, you need to screw up every other rogues off AMAZING pants, which are also amazing pants for you to get them.. Kinda lame tho. (I guess it's about the same way as saying "hey i just took your t6 token (rogue/mage/druid)" lol...)
I mean, it's kinda like tokens in BT/hyjal, except now.. You need tanking gear or DPS gear, you have a way to trade them. Tokens are now dropping 3 times? 3 tokens per boss, but these pants will only drop once. It kinda feels shitty compared to times where you'd go "Alright, Mage rogue druid token has 3 chances to drop this time, i'll pass for him since he needs it more, i got 3 chances to get it again next time", it won't be like that with the upgrades in sunwell.. Food for thought i guess. (Leatherworking chest + gloves + Belt/Boots/Bracer + t6 Shoulders for me tho, so it's not like i'll screw anyone that "much" trying to get the best dps gear)
With sunwell, Every piece, i mean EVERY SINGLE piece of tanking upgrade is better than t6.. Gloves (2 socket), Helm (more dodge and stamina), Chest (better stats again), Pants (they blow t6 out of the water)... And with the belt,bracer and belt tokens, you'd only have to what.. Keep shoulders for 4 set? Since the shoulders are the worse upgrade tanking wise for sunwell...
I'm not even at the point you're at gear wise. Pretty sure your dps gear is pretty much complete since i think i've seen some pretty impressive Teron gorefiend WWS about you. My tank gear is pretty much going to be full t6 next patch due to getting upgrade for DPS and the t6 for DPS (Currently) going to tank as i replace them (chest/gloves/pants).
