Honestly it is in no way required to be defense capped to tank heroics. AT ALL. I hit 80 on my pally a week ago and didnt hardly have defense gear because I wasn't aware thats what I was supposed to go for. I hit 80 and was instantly breezing through heroics no problem. There is a huge misconception about defense because it doesn't make your health drop any slower it just reduces the chance a mob will hit you and you only get a little over 5% from being capped. My recomendation to you is just make sure you have 22k hp unbuffed and at least 3-4 epics from normal pit of saron HoR and FoS. Im not sure where the idea you had to be def capped to run heroics came from because its completely untrue nobody was def capped b4 running their first heroics unless they have some serious issues. Just start running random heroics if everyone else is decently geared you'll be fine I went from a 1k GS to 2.2k and I tank OS np and im still not def capped
