Paladin Tanking Belts
#1
Mostly I'm wondering about what pally tanking belt is better between Belt of the Guardian and Belt of the Protector. It is a tough decision for me. Block Value versus Dodge Rating kind of thing. These discussions usually involve the rest of a person's gear so I am going to list that off now. Some slots have multiple items listed since sometimes I use block value ones and sometimes I use spell damage ones.

Ring 1

Ring 2

Trinket 1

http://www.wowwiki.com/Commendation_of_Kael'thas

Trinket 2

http://www.wowwiki.com/Moroes'_Lucky_Pocket_Watch

Now I'm probably going to upgrade my boots to http://www.wowwiki.com/Sabatons_of_the_R...s_Defender before I end up getting either belt. I'll be putting http://www.wowwiki.com/Enchant_Boots_-_Fortitude on them as well. I also may get http://www.wowwiki.com/Figurine_-_Empyrean_Tortoise to replace the Pocket Watch, though I am not decided yet on if I should do that or get the belt. I'd love to get http://www.wowwiki.com/Figurine_-_Crimson_Serpent and wear two stamina trinkets. but I doubt I can manage that and stay uncrushable.

Defense values with block value items (no aura/buffs)

Stamina: 1072
Armor: 16470
Defense: 514
Dodge: 24.75%
Parry: 16.56%
Block: 15.75%

uncrush total with holy shield: 103.949

Defense values with spell damage items (no aura/buffs)

Stamina: 1059
Armor: 16441
Defense: 505
Dodge: 24.28%
Parry: 16.20%
Block: 17.67%

uncrush total with holy shield: 104.708

These are without the new boots or trinket since I don't have those as of yet. If I end up staying above uncrush like those values currently are then I might start switching gems out for pure stamina ones. If the Block Value belt is better then I might have to get the trinket to stay above uncrush. I've not worked out all of those details as of yet. Anyway...thoughts on which belt is better?
