I was wondering what stats I should be shooting for to Tank/OT the start of SSC. I am currently sitting at 14.5K health unbuffed and 28.5K armor. What should I be shooting for to primarily OT. Any help would be appreciated! Also any specialized gear to handle the instance would be appreciated so I can work on getting it. Thanks guys you guys are an awesome resource.

A mixture of nature and frost gear for Hydross ( need it for the adds ) .

Can you link your armory or list your gear? Seems you might be missing some key pieces.

Sorry...didn't think to link

Here's my armory:

On a quick glance over you could pick up the following from badges:
- cloak
- neck
- boots

I also REALLY like the use of the program RAWR for gear comparison:

can't go wrong using rawr for tanking gear decisions

I have been OTing the adds in the Hydross fight with just regular tank gear. We have a warrior/paladin team the MTs Hydross.

If you will be OTing thru the rest of SSC/TK you will be fine with having 28k armor and 14.5k hp.

Also try for the pocket watch off Moroes that can be real helpful instead of the hourglass ...
