It’s not call “pre-bis” its called “pre-raid” like what to get before raiding.
The item list has been tweaked, it is no longer called “pre-bis”. It now offers the correct items that you can use which fit in the “pre-raid” category.
Actually there is no bis list for tanks. Some gear is better on different encounters.
https://wotlkdb.com/?item=51901, https://wotlkdb.com/?item=49904, https://wotlkdb.com/?item=50991 and https://wotlkdb.com/?item=50466 also bis due to extra armor. Default boots should be https://wotlkdb.com/?item=54579 (more armor, stamina and avoidance). For heroic halion and sindragosa you may want to have expertise hard cap (56). https://wotlkdb.com/?item=50625, https://wotlkdb.com/?item=51268 and https://wotlkdb.com/?item=50968 are here to help you.
Another option is using only 2T10 pieces (chest and gloves due to additional armor on them). 4T10 ppala bonus is weaker than other tanks (12% dodge against 12% overall dmg reduction 10sec per 1min, its useless against magic damage and some abilities), so you can ignore it. https://wotlkdb.com/?item=50640 with additional hit and https://wotlkdb.com/?item=50660 with additional socket.
https://wotlkdb.com/?item=50344 for bosses with mostly physical damage (marrowgar, dbs, bpc, maybe festergut)
You are actually right Indentuum, each encounter requires a different small tweak to your gear. When we presented the BIS List we had in mind a general build, each encounter presents itself with a new challenge and a requirement to alter your stats to a certain degree. Thank you for the addition, it is most welcome!
