Seriously, the exact same question was asked on the previous page of the thread you posted in.
Original Post:
I was wondering what most druids are doing in Sunwell when tanking different encounters and upgrading gear.

Pre-sunwell I used the [Vindicator's Dragonhide Bracers], along with the [Shadowmoon Insignia], [Violet Signet of the Great Protector], [A'dal's Signet of Defense], [Slikk's Cloak of Placation], and [Pendant of Titans].

Those I felt were all pretty obvious choices. This kept me from ever needing to gem/enchant for resil or defense for crit immunity.

When tanking Kalecgos(and demon) I actually started using [Brooch of Deftness] and [Boots of Natural Grace] for less taunt resists and more overall threat. Since I lose some defense from swapping necks, I just tossed a 10 Defense gem into my chest (replacing a 5 agi/5hit) and I was good to go...

But, on to my actual dilema. My guild and I downed Kalecgos last week for the first time. I would be the first person on the Vanq token to get it when it drops. If I use the T6 bracers over the pvp bracers(now s4 bracers) I lose crit immunity. Do most people just enchant/gem for defense/resil and suck it up? Also, from what I've gathered, most players tend to go with [Badge of Tenacity] and [Commendation of Kael'thas] for tanking Brutallus. If I do that, it leaves me crittable by quite a lot(even more if I usethe T6 bracers when I get them). Requiring me to change even more gemming/chanting for just one specific fight. I actually just re-gemed my shoulders with another 10 defense and my chest with a 5def/7stam so now I am uncrittable without using the Shadowmoon Insignia. That solves the problem until I get T6 bracers.

A few posts up someone mentioned that they used their pvp bracers for "farm" bosses and only tossed on their T6 bracers for new bosses, along with popping [Elixir of Ironskin]. Is this what most druids do? Or do you just put another defense/resil gem/chant on your gear? I know it's not bad doing that, I just usually try to avoid it unless all else fails.

I also know about rawr and have played around with my gear in it for a while now and was just wanting other input on it to see what other ferals are doing with this problem that I'm guessing more than a few people have ran into.
