With this in mind, I have a few questions for you, if I may.
1. When upgrading gear what stats should take priority? For example, I would assume priority along these lines:
Stam
AC
Block Value
Def/Res
Parry/Dodge
Agi/Str
2. Resiliance or Defense? From a quick search online it seems like gear has either one or the other. Assuming tanks would have at least some of each value, what is more beneficial?
3. I'm considering making every Warrior get the full Bold set. Not only because it seems like a good tanking set, but getting the set would show a certain amount of work ethic on their part, as it will probably take many runs. Is it a good idea to push them towards that? (More of a leadership question, I suppose)
4. When will your bring back the Batman tabard?

My gear collection priority went in this order:
Get to 490 Defense
Find high Stamina items
Replace high Stamina items with high-Armor/high-Stamina items
Improve on those
There are a lot of good trinkets available that give a large pool of Defense Rating; there are also alot of good items. The Bold set is actually quite nice; however, the Shoulderplates of the Bold are the only one that were a 100% sure improvement over Tier 3. Caverns of Time Revered (very, very easy to get) has Timewarden's Leggings, which are stacked with all sorts of good stats.
I can't really say too much on what to get. I personally have two sets right now, a Shield Block set (useful since I'm Protection) and a boss-set. I use the Shield Block set for 5-mans, and the boss-set for boss encounters or what few raid zones we've seen.
