you can gain an aditional 225 mastery with elixir which is worth 1.23 mastery and so -> 2.8% block.
with that elixir + food and raid buffs your at 102~ which places you just below the ctc.
which after you get a valor ring to go with your boe ring will mean your probably at ctc.
being at CTC will make you a lot easier to heal than being 4% block lower than cap as all it takes is that 4% to occur twice in a row and you die on some bosses. these bosses will be hiting you for such numbers that each block stops 20k~ damg.
the extra health from that trinket is 575*14*1.05*1.05*1.2 from talents and buffs and plate spec and the stamina -> hp co-efficient.
that equals 10650 HP 1/2 of the damg you would block.
if you conbine that with the heal of 17k your back to where you would have been if you blocked.
but you can only heal once a minute.
stick with mastery.
