Final comments you feel could help your application:
Basically, you have a decent set of tanking gear for the previous 25man tier normal: Spec doesn't seem to bring much 25 man benefit as it overlaps with buffs from common classes but requires other people to go out of their way to debuff should you be the primary tank on a target. Gear is acceptable if starting to get a little dated Gems and enchants are outdated and a couple are poorly selected. Holy spec is also odd with picking up talents that aren't useful or reliable instead of ones that provide raid benefit. Assuming that the holy gear is worse than the prot gear, I don't see taking you into progression raids for some time and we have several who offspec or alt tank with gear that's better than what you have right now. With several friends in the guild and the gear to be an OT in a 10 man, I could offer you a friend rank membership and try to use you for getting more 10 man raids going on... but I'm not sure how much more we'll be seeing Ulduar 25 in which many of your ToC25-prep gear is located. Awaiting response from guild references for a friend invite.
It's looking like there is some potential for alt/friend Ulduar's if you are interested in coming in still... Just get one of your referrals to get with me or post, otherwise I'll be closing the app off for lack of response.
He does his job and I enjoy play with him, would enjoy doing it a bit more in a raid environment again.
