Re: Resilence Gear
My first tip: do VoA. If your guild doesn't do VoA regularly, PUG it; there are plenty of chances to get PVP gear in that. Even before the whole 'Pet gets resilience' thing, I have two pieces of PVP gear in my tanking outfit. Three, if I want to wear the wristband, but the difference in HP frmo my present band is small enough that I usually keep the other for the extra damage.
Second tip: do Wintergrasp whenever you can. There are some very nice pieces of armor among their rewards. Before the place gets a queue in place, I suggest you go every chance you get right now; get as many of the Wintergrasp marks as you can (go on killing sprees to make sure you get your maximum). 40 marks might sound like a lot, but without honor needed as well, it adds up pretty quick.
Third tip: if you have plenty of badges, compare the PVP suits you can get with the badge tokens. You might be able to pick up a cheap chest with Valor marks that would have a good amount of resilience on it. Or shoulders.
Just remember: PVP gear has excellent stamina and of course the all-important resilience, but you will be sacrificing TPS from the lack of RAP. You may need to experiment to find the best balance of gear to be uncrittable and still hold threat.

Re: Resilence Gear
In my mind the Swiftarrow set isn't really an option for any level 80 content. Sure its got resilience, but the stats are so bad compared to whatever Naxx gear you have that you'd really be gimping your HP and threat very badly by using it.
If you don't mind BG PvP, I strongly recommend getting some of the Deadly off-pieces from Honor. The Deadly Honor pieces no longer have a rating requirement, and some of them, like the ring and bracers, are the best your going to find for stamina outside of tank and melee pieces.
Also if you don't mind Wintergrasp and don't have WotLK stamina trinkets, you could go to WG and pick up the Platinum Disks of Battle and Anvil of Titans for a total of 179 resilience between the two. They also provide a great amount of AP on use and proc respectively, which is great for threat.
Also you can get resilience through enchants for your shoulder, helm, legs and chest. While they won't be enough to get your resilience capped on your own, they can considerably reduce the amount of PvP gear you'll need. These enchants are actually quite good though; the AP versions of the helm and shoulder enchants have the same amount of AP as their PvE counterparts, and get resilience at the cost of crit rating which is a pretty mediocre stat for a pet tanker. The stamina/resil shoulder enchant is the best in slot for stamina, and the helm stam/resil enchant has nearly as much stamina as the stam/defense enchent, so using these for the resilience won't really diminish your other stats in a meaningful way. If you're using your PvE gear to tank though you'd need to switch out these enchants when pet tanking, not exactly a cheap alternative.

Re: Resilence Gear
You can get the entire Hateful set without any rating now. However, the new season approaches and I am guessing that Deadly will become the new "unrated" set.
Rules for gathering PvP gear:
- Wintergrasp as much as possible, do the quests each week too. Both the shards and the marks can be used to buy really decent stuff with lots of stamina.
- BGs when not doing Wintergrasp, do all of the BGs that have marks required for the For Great Honor quest.
- Turn in For Great Honor when you can
You'll be amazed how fast it goes.
Ground
PS: You can turn in Wintergrasp shards (the ones you get in heroics when we control WG and from the WG quests) 30 at a time for 2k honor too.

honor
I agree with all the previous comments. I'll just add this: The fastest way to run up honor is in the Strands of the Ancients BG. The weekend Holiday BG can often compete but rarely beats it. I've been honor-capped (75k) five times in my career.
Re: Resilence Gear
PS: Never allow yourself to get honor capped. You can buy blue gems from the PvP JC vendor in Org for 10k honor. When you hit 70k, just buy a gem and get back down to 60k and keep going...
PSS: ONLY do this when you have no PvP gear left to buy.

Re: Resilence Gear
The thing with threat is damage is not so very important, but AP is. The 15% damage increase WILL however increase the damage and hence threat generated by TS, but it is off a very low base.
Alternatively you could aim for very high crit to keep the CS procs rolling, but again I am not sure how valuable this is, especially in the 3.2 KC scenario.
It is very annoying when a dps specced hunter out-threats your turtle by just having growl on his wolf, and the reason is sheer AP scaling for growl (TS also scales woth you AP).
If you can get the balance right you can just about compete for threat on single targets with roughly equally geared tanks in my experience, but the AoE threat is nowhere near.

Re: Resilence Gear
This is why I never once considered the frost gear for hunter tanking gear, yeah: the loss in AP. There's a loss with PVP gear, but the loss is *immense* if you go with the frost res gear, even if you were to gem it down the line for extra AP. For me, unless you're offtanking something you won't have to fight, the frost res gear is probably not a good option for 'solid pet tanking gear' for that reason: threat.
A lot of the new PVP gear, on the other hand, *does* have AP on it. Lower than the PVE gear (and more focus on resil and crit), but present. The large boost in stamina's enough to make it worthwhile, and threat isn't compromised *too* much by a few pieces. No doubt we should be able to get a crit immune pet (as long as the resil crit immunity will work) without a vicious threat lost here.

Re: Resilence Gear
Interestingly with the new changes on the PTR we are looking at an additional 15% AP scaling on a tank build (those two points going to animal handler would be floating anyhow). This means that the Survivalist build starts to look more and viable, but one could conceivably take a Careful Aim build with the frost gear now too.
Probably the best solution would still be Careful Aim build with as much AP on gear as possible, but people seem to take ones tanking aspirations more seriously if you have high HP.

Re: Resilence Gear
Don't forget 5% more AP from Wild Hunt as well. It's going to be 15% instead of 10%.
Re: Resilence Gear
Oh yes of course, it is 5% per point of WH so my 15% is actually 20%

numbers
what im meaning is the follow.. in simple formula
we now the number for resilience to make the pet crit immune..what im cud use simpler numbers for AP= threat holding aggro for diff instances..
That make more easy planning gear..threat against stamina..
in raid group doing 2-3 k dps on boss
and groups for 4-5k dps...roughly
How much AP you had on gear when you tanked naxx ? what was the ap on the gear holding aggro on bosses you used ?
if we cud make a simple table something like this
Normal dps grupp 2-3 k dps.
AP= X
Stam =x
Resilence = 328
DonĀ“t need to be exact number..just same clue what im need. .
Hope is better explain..sry for the bad English :=((

Re: Resilence Gear
It's honestly impossible to calc like that. It all depends on who you're going with. Do the high dps:ers have reduced threat talents, are they using aggro wipers (FD, vanish, etc), are they using misdirection and tricks of the trade, are they waiting a bit before going all out to make sure you have proper aggro, and so on.
The main thing you should be concerned of is that dpsers who overaggro are doing it wrong. They should know how high their threat is and if they are going too high, they should take it easy or use their abilities to remove threat if they have them. It's not demanding much, we all had to check our threat in TBC, there's no reason people should stop doing it just because threat from real tanks normally have gotten so high that there's no way to overaggro.
