I forgot to mention the new Sigil. It's a mere 15 Badges and it's brilliant.
It has a 100% Proc Rate so it is possible to gear for the additional 53 Defense Proc but I prefer just allowing it to increase my Mit slightly when I land IT.

I got that but dont think its 100% proc rate
But does that mean i can cut down on 53 def on my DK?Since i pull with icy touch.

people often misunderstand defense cap you need 5.6 % crit immunity to a boss 3 levels higher then you this can be stacked up by resilience OR defense,
for druids you get 6% from talents meaning you don't need any defense gear what so ever,
type this in game and you get a answer on how much your lacking or over the cap a negative total = your over the cap =)

/script DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(5.6-(GetCombatRatingBonus(CR_DEFENSE_SKILL)*.04+GetCombatRatingBonus(CR_CRIT_TAKEN_MELEE)),1,0.5,0)

Yeah it is 100% Proc Rate. Theoretically you could skip that 53 Defense and rely on the Proc but it's not a good idea.

Best tanking cloak in the game for a DK is the 25 Badge of Valor cloak.
I'm assuming you were using the Durable Nerubhide cloak?

Unfortunately I can't take a look at work.
I tanked in the Crusader Shoulders for quite some time before I got my Valor Shoulders.

There are a lot of excellent Tanking blues around for getting into 10man Raiding content.
