Durable Nerubhide Cape

Would you think this might be a suitable entry-level epic cloak for level 80 tanks? It lacks def rating, but it has reasonable stamina, and 1.25% dodge is nothing to sneer at.

Dodge, Parry, and Expertise are the only things Death Knights have, besides frost presence armor to lower melee. Defense rating also increases chance to block, but DK's aren't smart enough to use shields. We need to stack dodge, which caps at 88%. Defense has its benefits and should be brought up to at least 540 to avoid boss crits and help the healers.

Exactly what I was thinking. This is probably not a cloak for warriors, DKs or Paladins who require stacking defense; but for bears it's quite shiny. I will definitely be collecting mats for this for when my beartank dings 80.
