Imp. Demo Shout is probably better than Unbridled Wrath for an OT/5-man position.

Piercing howl is pretty awesome, consider picking it up if you have a spare point.

Imp. Cleave is kinda neat, but not a big favorite of mine. Up to you, though, depending on how much you use it.

Imp. Intercept is an interesting choice... I've always considered that a PvP talent, and not of much use for PvE, especially with the new Intervene.

Imp. Bloodrage is nice and all, but if you're low gear and only part protection, you need all the defense points you can get. I'd take 2 pts of anticipation over imp. bloodrage, to help get up to 490 defense without sacrificing too much else.

I think Tal is right, 5 pts. in deflection is stronger than 10% armour from items. YMMV, though.

Unbridled wrath is some rage in combat, in general you might need this rage until you are well geared then you won't. I'd keep it for now.

Imp. Cleave is not something you really want unless you are EXTREMELY well geared. You won't have the rage for cleaves much until then.

Intercept is mostly a PvP talent, it's useful on some bosses though (prince). Most of those bosses also have 30 second timers on pushbacks so it's not critical.

Bloodrage vs. anticipation is a toss up, initial aggro can be a problem for a non-shield slam tank. So I tend to favor it over anticipation.

Toughness vs. deflection: this is an effective health vs. avoidance scenario. toughness is better for bosses hands down. Most issues on bosses are sudden tank death (STD) not OOM situations. deflection doesn't help much with STD (1 in 20 times it will). Toughness is consistent insurance in the battle against catching an STD.

It's kind of a preference thing. However, most raid OTs will generally be in slightly less spiky damage situations, while MTs will usually be the STD issue. (example is Gruul, Hateful isn't going to cause STD on the OT until it gets to 1 shot range. Toughness extends slightly where '1 shot range is' but avoidance is a significant benefit here because you have to have a strat where you don't get into 1 shot range in the first place).
