I find many of the BIS lists kind of irrelevant for my situation, as my group won't blow through normal modes and put them on farm, but we will be clearing it all soon enough and starting heroics. What I do for a BIS list is I use Ask Mr Robot, excluding Warforged, heroic, and world boss items, as I can't really rely on the chances of those items to drop. I just consider items that drop on normal mode, since I won't be rolling any tokens in LFR or Flex, except for trinkets and a better shield (currently 510 still).
My primary goals is completing normal mode, with a secondary goal of getting ready for heroics. My list informs me of what to roll my tokens on, what to pass on if I think someone else can use it better, and what to insist to my raid team that this is indeed BIS tank gear. In parentheses I note what spec to roll the token as, and whether it's BIS or just a good early option to take before BIS drops.
Main Hand: Haromm's Frozen Crescent- Dark Shaman (prot, early), Siegecrafter's Forge Hammer - Blackfuse (prot, bis)
Off Hand: Shield of Mockery- Sha (prot, early), Bulwark of the Fallen General - Nazgrim (bis)
Head: Thranok's Shattering Helm - Galakras (ret, off-set), Faceguard of Winged Triumph - Thok (tier)
Neck: Choker of the Final Word- Sha (prot, early), Juggernaut's Ignition Keys - Juggernaut (ret, bis),
Shoulder: Darkfallen Shoulderplates - Galakras (ret or prot, off-set), Shoulderguards of Winged Triumph - Blackfuse (tier)
Back: Qian-Ying, Fortitude of Niuzao - (bis)
Chest: Chestplate of Congealed Corrosion - Immerseus (ret, early), Chestguard of Winged Triumph - Sha (tier)
Wrist: Bubble-Burst Bracers - Immerseus (ret, bis)
Hands: Corruption-Rotted Gauntlets - Immerseus (ret, off-set), Handguards of Winged Triumph - Nazgrim (tier)
Waist: Poisonbinder Girth - Protectors (ret, early), Ashen Wall Girdle - Dark Shaman (prot, ring/weapon roll), Demolisher's Reinforced Belt - Juggernaut (ret, bis)
Legs: Legplates of Unthinking Strife - Garrosh (ret, off-set) Legguards of Winged Triumph - Paragons (tier)
Feet: Treads of Unchained Hate - Immerseus (prot, early), Malkorok's Giant Stompers - Malkorok (ret or prot, bis)
Ring 1: Asgorathian Blood Seal - Blackfuse (ret, bis)
Ring 2: Galakrond Control Band - Galakras (prot, early), Ring of the Iron Tomb, Dark Shaman (prot, early), Bloodclaw Band - Dark Shaman (prot or ret, bis)
Trinket 1: Vial of Living Corruption - Malkorok (any mode, prot, bis)
Trinket 2: Rook's Unlucky Talisman - Protectors (prot, bis)
I am pursuing 4 set with the head slot off-set, especially since it's BIS option drops early. *edit* See comments for off-tier options.
Technically Juggernaut's Focusing Crystal is the second best trinket for the stat weights I used (the medium Stamina option), and I certainly won't let it go to D/E, as it might turn out useful, but for now I plan on continuing to use double Stamina trinkets.
It looks like if I get all or at least most of my BIS before hitting heroic modes, I'll be well over 1 million health with 33.8% Haste and 31.6% Mastery,
