I know removing the chance of getting critically hit is important for the real heavy hitting bosses, but is "you'll be capping defense at 490 first, since it's vitally important to prevent crits, and then working on your other stats" the best advice while you're progressing to those bosses?

I get images of warriors throwing away tons of stamina and armor for just one more point of defence. As a healer, I'd rather that not happen.

It's actually more advice for gearing up for heroics first. By the time you're in Kara you should have walked in the door with 490 defense, and be looking to maintain that while getting higher stamina/mitigation gear.

You can hit 490 defense easily in dungeon blues and some greens if necessary (a rifle of the champion is awesome +def in a spot you usually don't think about).

Anyone who does a heroic or kara without 490 defense just simply isn't a very smart tank.

For heroics you only need 485 defence as there are no L73s.
