    If upgraded, Lao-Chin's is the best stam trinket for the tier, the Relic was fairly awful even last tier though.

    how good is the valor isle trinket

    Quite good if you feel comfortable with how hard you get it. If you need stamina, keep your current setup. Otherwise, the mastery from the SPA Trinket is outstanding. I have also found the on-use to be useful, to boot.

    Aye, 14%~ dodge for a few second is nothing to sneeze at when you are worried about melee swings before/after a big boss ability.

    Combine that with the stacking(!) proc from the Dark Animus trinket, and you could reach 50k Mastery!

    Relic is alright, it was awful, then became good when they doubled the proc amount, but still mediocre compared to most trinkets, good for add tanking though such as bats on Tortos, where you can proc it every time you pick up bats for lots of dodge (Dodge/Parry > Mastery for tanking lots of little things).
    LaoChin's/JadeWarlordFigurine is a VERY useful trinket for both Stam and the Mastery proc, as I only raid casually these days, I'm not sure how it shapes up compared to new trinkets, but I do know that pretty much all current tier trinkets are very solid options with the exception of the Dark Animus trinket.

    Sco (Although he is a Warrior) still uses JadeWarlord.

    Yikes.

    Probably better than you, probably also a casual these days. Go on, keep being elitist.

    Consider the fact all of our heals are % based any Stamina trinkets are better than 'traditional' tanking one.
    I'm sticking with the get damage-heal it method :P

    Stamina is only good if your DSs are hitting for their minimum and Rune Tap.

    However, contrary to what people think, Stamina is a perfectly viable tank stat, in that Stamina's purpose is to allow you to survive more damage without needing a heal, as a DK though, this is kind of contradictory in that, if you're using Mastery stacking properly, your Mastery allows you to survive in similar circumstances due to your bubble and/or AMS for Magic.

    tanks don't have a set list of 'best trinkets'
    depends on the fight and what you're doing.
    not having any problems living? use dps trinkets
    having problems living? use tank trinkets
    what is killing you? magic damage? use stam trinkets
    physical damage? get more stam and/or mastery
    sudden burst damage? get a trinket with an on use that will help you survive it

    stam is always the easy choice. that or dps trinkets.

    i dont see what the debate is, the different stat amounts on gems and trinkets tell you very clearly that gemming mastery and using 2 stam trinkets is the way to go...
    dps trinks are always fun though

    Thought I'd reinforce this a bit, as unfortunately, it seems to be a fairly common misconception.

    I would actually change that statement to "using 2 stam trinkets is the way to go for now, until you gear more".
    I am currently iLvl 520, and use 2 Mastery trinkets (giving me 210% Mastery unbuffed) ... very very comfortable during all fights on Normal.

    Dark Animus trinket have insanely low proc rate for blood DKs because they have very low dodge. Ive tested it vs ~15 mobs pack and i got my first stack after like 3 minutes. Even if you use valor trinket with 16000 dodge, there is a very low chance of getting even one stack while dodge buff is active.

    i like using a dps trinket such as the SPA one , paired with a on use survivability trinket
