The first tip I would give you, is to put some dots and comma's in your post. Makes it a lot easier to read.
To not be a total arse, I will say some things on the matter:
A: healing has changed, and it is not like healers are supposed to get you to full health in a second like they could in wrath. also, much healers i encounter in pugs just suck. no matter how good you are, if the healer sucks, there is no way to be efficient. just make sure you are not the one sucking.
B: after you look at your spec for taking all damage reduction talents and threat increasing, make sure you are hit capped, and then go for gear with mastery on it. Dodge and parry will most likely also be present on those items, and those are also great. crit and haste are pretty much useless, and you might want to reforge those to mastery.

I was told that mastery > dodge/parry.
But is it true that hit/expertise > mastery > dodge/parry?
Im already lacking alot of hit..but a bit over the cap for expertise.
(anyways if you arent a paladin, the mastery increases block chance, so the more you have, you can get a straight 30% damage reduction)

its Hit/expertise > mastery > dodge/parry.

my DK tank right now is at:

hit cap (8%)
expertise cap (26)
mastery at 12.97
dodge at 9.98%
parry at 11.15%

I looked at geared tanks in guilds raiding and their parry/dodge is around mine but their mastery is what is improving with gear.
