Right now I've got a few different sets of gear I where. In all my sets I get a minimum of 490 def first. Getting crit on any raid boss is a very bad idea. Then I shoot for 12000 HP unbuffed. Then is changes depending on the fight. On very hard hitting, bosses where crushing blows are killer I make sure I have 25% block to push crushing blows off with shield block up. On fights where i'm not as concerend on crushing blows (or the boss hits so fast that I can't keep shield block up) I stack as much dodge/parry as I can.
Right now you have 502 def, and a bunch of gems with +def. I'd at least replace all of them with +9 stam gems. IMO I can't see spending hundreds of gold on +12 stam gems if the item isn't epic.
The ring GG recomended from Arca is very nice to replace your +42 stam ring (I'd love to get it also). But one ring that is very easy to get is Andormu's Tear. Now your first reaction will probably be the same as mine: "WTF! no stam! terible tank ring!" But once you get past that you'll see:
Equip: Increases defense rating by 10.
Equip: Increases your dodge rating by 26.
Equip: Increases your shield block rating by 15.
That's 1.38% dodge and 1.90% block. Great tanks stats. And 4 defense doesn't hurt. And you probably have the ring already, I think it's from the BM quest. If you do things like change out some gems for for more stam you'll probably only lose 20ish stam.
For enchants the best ones right now are agil for your weapon, cloak (12 dodge rating might technically be a hair better, but it's so close it's not worth the extra cost) and gloves. I still haven't figured out how much dodge you get for agility at 70, but 42 agil from those enchants is between 1% and 2% dodge. Plus crit and armor. Then enchant everything else with stam.
