If you've otherwise got the badge gear from before - especially the chestguard - not a whole lot recommends itself.
Would you consider the 2.4 legs an upgrade over [Praetorian's Legguards] ?

I suppose the most challenging content I tank currently are Felmyst skeletons (Holy is my normal raiding spec, I hs + respec for felmyst). Though picking up them is the most challenging part I think :P

Talking about that, maybe we can share tactics/tips on that abit?

Here is what I tend to do:
1) Put a consec down about 1-2 "skeletons spawns" away from the start
2) Pull the first 1-2 skeletons with seal/proximity agro or AS if needed
3) If I time it right, I can now put a consec abit after my first one
4) If there is a gap in between (and I loose 1-2 skeletons), this is where I either use taunt or try to judge one
5) By now the second beam has started and our MT should be over there. Once the second beam has spawned, I call our entire raid (with most focus on resto shamans/druids and CoH spammers) to hug up on me, using mostley taunt and our MT to bring the remaining adds to me.

While this works great, I'm always open to suggestions. I tried picking up adds on the second beam myself for a while aswell, but by the time I'd get there I felt they had spread out due to healing agro so much already making the healers hug up in my consec was a better solution.

edit:
Right, some tips I read in other topics:
- Stratholme holy water
- Oil of Immolation
- Exorcism (god I'm a retard I didnt think of this earlier..)
- Holy wrath on the first few skeletons (butit doesnt really have an advantage over AS I think)
