I stick with styleen's/onyxia for almost everything but Nefarian. :-/

When I didn't have styleens though, lifegiving gem saved my life on chromaggus many times (especially if i was backup tanking and 19%/frenzy hit with acid on and it switched to me with no shield on). It also has helped on flamegor with the thrash. However it is as hard to predict when the burst is coming as it is to heal it, so I generally stick to "If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, just make it a little harder for that to happen" with my gear selection.

That's a brilliant idea. Need something snappy to call the boss, though. I've got it, how about "Huhuran"?

In my defense I have not done any research on the AQ40 bosses so I dont know their abilities with that said it is good to see blizzard is finally taking my suggestions seriously.

A question to the tanks here:

There are really 3 tanking trinkets: Onyxia's Styleens, and Lifegiving. Which 2 do you use?

Don't discount ZHB for certain encounters. According to our MT, the bonus gets multiplied by Imp LoH and Inspiration bonus, so it can significantly reduce physical damage taken during known tough spots, example being Nef landing and Nef warrior shout.
