I was really looking forward to the Ancient Petrified Seed until they removed agility's contribution to dodge. I'll probably go with the Moonwell Phial and the Gift of the Greatfather for most fights and swap in the mirror when I need it.

Hmmmm, wonder when the calculators are going to come out that will show what we'll need from 4.2 to remain unhittable, since that's the primary goal. Unhittable on a fight with just physical damage essentially means you gain 20% more HP, so any purely stam trinket is going to have to equal that amount or close to it since there's always going to be some sort of damage going on that will bypass your shields. Then again that damage is pretty easy to plan around and just requires a specific HP floor.
It'll be fun to see where things go and I agree I'm not too enthused with the new trinkets, but find it interesting that we will probably be able to chain 2 on use trinkets + holy shield + DP for an extra bit of protection throughout the fight, although you'll have to know when to use what to make things most worthwhile.
Did you look at the 4.1 Datamined ones, or the 4.2 PTR versions?
http://ptr.wowhead.com/item=68996 - That is gonna be WAY more than the old info was during 4.1 (which was nowhere CLOSE to finished).
One sec, lemme get you the list of all of them that are important for tanking (as of current live 4.2 PTR build):
http://ptr.wowhead.com/compare?items...42;68915;68996
All 4 of them (not counting heroic versions). The 365 one is from the Daily hub once you unlock the vendor for it. Stay of Execution is from Revered w/ Avengers of Hyjal (raid faction).
And those are the proper 4.2 PTR stats. Not some datamined crap you are basing your claims of "WTF is blizz thinking?!" on.

Zero, you put the wrong moonwell trinket in your comparison; you want the moonwell phial, not the chalice. Revised link: http://ptr.wowhead.com/compare?items...15;68996;70143
Not much else to offer, just passing through :-P
stay of execution used -> have your pally hop the tank to prevent the trinkets dot damadge meaning your tank gains a 20% damg reduction cd for no negative effects.
Heck, I still keep my Sindragosa's Flawless fang around just in case!
