While most of your protection tree talent summaries/ratings provide a good framework, you're handling of holy/retribution talents does not take into account much of the discussion found on this very forum.

You may want to do some research, especially concerning the need for Benediction as a MT (I personally find this choice odd), as well as paying some passing mention to Heart of the Crusader/Seals of the Pure, Imp. BoM, and PoJ at the very least.

If you are advocating "this is a viable tank build" then just post your build and explain it, but if you are attempting to offer an authoritative summary of MT/OT talents, you need to include ALL talents that are viable for different playing styles.

Also, since this seems to be more of a summary thread (rather than rehashing debates/making long detailed explanations) you may want to offer links to the threads that DO deal with those issues for those seeking more information than "you need this."

Kudos on attempting to bring all the WotLK info into a nice concise format for the browser looking for "what do I need now!"

Now includes a Rep/Crafted/Emblem Gear List

A small mistake, but you listed Axe for Humans under your Expertise category, instead of Mace.

Overall, very helpful, thanks!

Good Efforts deserve feedback.

iHoJ would be rare for a MT to pick up, but it is highly recommended when first starting heroic tanking.

Reckoning needs a higher priority, OR a scaling priority, most MT's would put 3 points in here before iHoJ, but very few MT's actually go 5/5, so the first 3 points are often filled in @ priority 2, but the last 2, are priority 3.

HotC and PoJ are too high priority. They are very very optional for MT's.

Your Expertise Rating is definitely incorrect. 64 Expertise is the Expertise Cap that I've heard. This will eliminate 16% parries. This is not Expertise Rating. This is Expertise. Do the math for rating. VERY FEW tanks will every bother to cap this, and almost all will be warriors simply because parry gib is a much much bigger issue for them.


PS> Does anyone actually bother to switch in SP weapons for Consecrate?

You may want to replace Judgement of Wisdom with Judgement of Light in that macro. I think 90% of us use JoL over any other Judgement.
