I understand that, but i want to get the real deeply investigated answers

yes u should get it but as it can come very handy on fights like LK and Sindragossa. When LK casts Soulreaper on you or when sindragosa does her AOE thing a priest shield + cd is a very usefull CD for all other fights i'm not really that convinced and would say use tier 10 helm + shoulder and mix them with tier10 / emblem chest + tier10 / emblem glove depending on the fight but the crafted legs are a must have!

Also if ur (off)tanking Blood Queen u can absorb 2-3 bolts when she's in the air which allows healers to heal up a player with far lower hp (f.e. enhancement sham). So definately a yes to get 4 set just rotate some gears for each fight.

thats the kind of answer i need, thanks alot, i think ill use my current gear as HP/GS gear, ty

4 set bonus scale with your gear and skill like since you gain more hp you gain more absorbtion and while you get used to using it as a cd and timing it right it shines. and you can manipulate your hp with trinkets and last stand which will give you more absorbs. i have ~60k buffed hp during raids and it makes it 12k absorb without any manipulation and its pretty awesome when you think you can use it every 1 min on important boss abilities.

Before the change of the chest/gloves (before they had increased armor) atleast I saw that the 4p bonus was not worth it. The extra armor you would get from Cataclysmic Chestguard and Gauntlets of Kraken would make me "feel" safer than another "OH SHIT-Button". Passive armor and Stamina is (IMO) the two stats to aim for and increase in ICC.
But since they actually changed the parts to having increased armor there's really no discussion. 4p is worth every single frost emblem. Especially (as Bullhammer stated) since it scales with your own HP so it gets better and better the more you get.
Something I would like to recommend is that IF you have the gold you should craft http://www.wowhead.com/?item=49904. They will be the setbreaker even if you get full ilvl277 set since there are no legs in either 10 or 25man that are as good itemized as that. Tons of armor and tons of stamina. You will loose defense but hey... atleast I were at 580defense before the release of ICC and now I've crafted both boots and legs + the BoE-gun that drops from trash and still manages defense-cap (while only having ilvl251 set-parts).

Anyway... to answer your question! YES. 4p-bonus is worth it. It has saved me and will help your healers out when one of those "OH SHIT" moments appear.

definetly pillars of might is very well itemized that's why i ve chosen it over tier legs and got rest pieces and OP should consider it aswell. Beside that can't see the point why you are using Glyph of Taunt(since hitcapped), Enraged Regen or Glyph of Bloodrage(t10 4p removes) and Imp. Revenge talents. I'd rather take shield wall and another glyph of your choice which i chose devastate for fast sunder stacking at start. For talents i'd rather have points in thunderclap for %10 more effect and imp. disciples for -1 min shield wall cd.
