After my success in 10 mans with the glyph of barkskin, we (I) decided that I should solo tank the 25 man with crit immunity gear.

Thus far we've seen the enrage timer a couple times, we're still bringing 3 tanks (mistake) melee keep chaining the lightning and ranged die to blizzard+frostbolt volley. But, so long as healers (and the various paladins) don't die, I've lived through 18 stacks.

This is just one way of doing it, that I sincerely hope will work, I know a lot of guilds use other methods which switch tanks around (specifically DK's and Warriors), and I've heard of just using double Druid to rotate barkskin crit immunity (you do need 4t7 to cover the full debuff though) If you have healers that have trouble target switching, I do recomend finding a set of gear similar to mine (all the better if you get furious pieces over deadly, the +20 ilvl is huge)

And yes, I do realize there's [Arcanum of the Savage Gladiator] which would probably be superior to using the chest enchant

At 0.1% of my healing received, I'm sorely disappointed with Blood Draining, my health was dipping faster than it procced. Because it doesn't actually prevent damage (like mongoose, and the amazing Blade Ward) it really doesn't seem worth it as a PvE enchant, and you really aren't going to see it in PvP. Much like Savagery, Black Magic, Scourgebane, and so many other enchants, it's another good idea, poorly implemented by blizzards "if it's clearly the best, then it must be overpowered" team. There was nothing wrong with Mongoose being as good as it is, putting in a Greater Mongoose isn't going to break the game. I'd even take something like the proc effect on the SSO neck where what you get could vary based on class.
Wanted to ask you, as I see you have 422 ressi and another 105 ressi from trinket procs, also 99 defense rating on your gear, is this enough to be crit immune? and also are you still using the Barkskin Glyph ?
Have you ever seen crushing blows on you ?
Thx in advance
