This is a new gear thread, mainly focusing on Endgame items. Some lower items may be omitted as the purpose of this is current raid gear. Feel free to discuss items included or not included for relevance to DK tanking. Thanks to Iscariote for the original format.
Please check the new links and let me know if they do not work, or if I have forgotten new items. Some items are not in the wowhead database yet, but the url is there as a placeholder.
***This list is NOT a ranking, but rather listed mostly by ilvl. I do not rank items because in many cases "best in slot" changes based on one's own personal stat deficiencies.***
Any future additions will be included in a changelog.
