[Flamebane Bracers] with a +8 def gem
[Phoenix-fire Band]

and drumroll....

[Onyxia Blood Talisman]!

That's 293 FR + 5 for the BE racial which hits 298 for me. I use the bracers instead of the gloves because I much prefer keeping T6 gloves on, being an exceptionally strong piece in terms of avoidance, stam and threat. In reality, some of your choices may be dictated by the gear you have available to you in other slots, but there's many ways you can reach it.

That's close to my personal setup, I assume an Onyxia Blood Talisman isn't available for most people, so my set might be more interesting:

[Inferno Tempered Leggings]
[Inferno Tempered Gauntlets] (With a [Flame Armor Kit])
[Inferno Tempered Boots]
[Inferno Tempered Chestguard] (This one has +15 Resilience enchanted)
[Flamebane Bracers] (With +12 Stamina enchanted, and a JC +12 defense gem)
[Phoenix-fire Band] (Shame on you if you're a Prot Pally in a guild that's killed Magtheridon that doesn't have this)
[Amulet of the Torn-heart]

This'll cover for the needed FR for a Blood Elf. It might be better if you swap out the bracers and amulet for a Flamebane Helm with FR enchant though, that'll also cover the extra FR you need if you aren't a Blood Elf (Or lets you replace the FR armor kit with a more conventional enchant on the gloves if you are a Blood Elf), and would mean that your FR set takes up one less piece of your gear.
