Hey guys I really need to get some clarification.

I have pretty good BC gear, I just restarted wow and Iam trying to catch up, sorry if I sound simple on this discussion.

I enchanted / gemmed all my old gear. I am currently in my tanking set / spec.
The World of Warcraft Armory

I have read over this guide, but calculators like Rawr suggest very different gear, mostly opting for more STR and armor reducing my dodge/parry/block/block value

For example:

I have old ZA shoulders but its recommended that I go to something like this as an upgrade -
Can someone explain this
[Pauldrons of Reconnaissance] vs [Pauldrons of Stone Resolve] + 24/24 stam

Another example:
[Girdle of Mighty Resolve] w +16 def +24 stam + 24 stam.
vs [Tempered Saronite Belt]

Is the calculator basically throwing out all my old gear, first trying to achieve 540 def? and then working on other values?

Maybe I am still thinking as an old BC pally, as str now add's to threat / block value, but am I on the right path?

Thanks
