Need fellow DK tank advice, thanks in advance

Looking at my charactor armory, is it possible for me to tank in heroics?
How about zandoms?

i've tanked in normal modes before.


Thanks for any suggestions/ advice.
Read LL's sticky for DK tanks at the top of this forum. Ur gear lvl is just fine for all heroics, but could use some optimization. The guide can fill you in, but here's some cliff notes:

-Gem for mastery and/or avoidance; only using stam as green hybrids.

-Reforge away expertise/hit or any dps stats to mastery and/or avoidance. After that, balance ur dodge and parry ratings (not %, ratings) as best you can to minimize DR.

-Replace ur might trinket, and start getting an array of tanking trinkets to swap around. Good ones are: Impetuous Query & Scale of Life from AH, Moonwell Phial from MF dailies, MoBI from TB rep (highly recommended), Fire of the Deep from new VP vedors (also highly recommended), Stay of Exec from FL trash rep, and Throngus' Finger from GB. There's the Veil of Lies from the new heroics too; it's alright but has an uncontrollable proc.

-Enchant ur gear, even if its holdovers; ya dun have to get the expensive stuff for each slot, but some enchant is better than none.
I agree with Cryotube,all the info you need is in the DK forums.Also there is some really good gear availabe in the 3 new dungeons.I have also found that the blood DK is not so squishy now that patch 4.3 is live.Do your home work on your class and you should be just fine'
Thanks for all the advice! :)

i've just upgraded some of my gear and was hoping to tank the twilight heroics.
im just hesitant to click that LFR button... :/
Only way to learn is to try. :)

ps: Enchant your gear. It'll reflect better on you when people inspect you.
