Well even though I tank as a warrior here is how I tend to look at myself for gearing up:
1) Do I die from healers going OOM? Get more armor and more avoidance.
2) Do I die often from taking a sting of hits that does more damage than the healers can keep up with? Get more avoidance and armor.
3) Do I die from huge spike damage? get more armor and HP.
From my experience I die most often to 3, then some times to 2, and almost never from 1. So I prioritize HP and armor. Avoidance is nice, and pretty helpful. But IMO you can always use more HP and armor (of course I don't have to worry about the armor cap. Can druids actually get to that 35900 armor cap?)
My general advice for any tank.
