This is rather stupid, I tanked (one of two) in Kara shortly after TBC came out before Arena Gear really even existed because our guild had slow-leveling tanks (2~ weeks into TBC?).
You do not need PvP items to do this because if you are really at that (rather low) level you will not be solo tanking the entirety of Karazhan as a Feral Druid in the first place.
It is a completly non PvP related issue that Feral tanking gear is lacking the rather small amount of stats required to become crit-immune. From Blizzards stand point, at this time it was ment that sockets would allow these items to become either specific Tanking or DPS items however using defence gems was never accepted as a means of doing this by the community really.
Note I'm not saying that the PvP items are bad for tanking gear because they are obviously not, however they are not required and are not the only option available to you.
