About TankPoints TankPoints was created to help myself compare different pieces of tanking gear, because it was difficult to decided at a glance like whether 12 defense is better then 1 dodge. TankPoints can be seen as how much damage you can take before damage reduction, it considers your max health, armor, defense, dodge, parry, block, block value, resilience, crushing blow chance, miss, crit reduction, talants, buffs, stance/forms, and more. Keep in mind though, that higher TankPoints does not mean a better tank just maybe better gear, it is only a benchmark for "tanking GEAR" but not "tanking". It can not decide for you what you should wear on what boss, but it can provide you with a wealth of information what will hopfully be useful for choosing gear. About TankPoints 2.0 TankPoints 2.0 is a complete rewrite of my original TankPoints for WoW 2.0 using the Ace2 framework. It has a much improved TankPoints algorithm, intergrates nicely into the character stats dropdown menu, and shows a lot more information then the original TankPoints. 2.0 introduced a new combat ratings system which made it even harder to compare gear, in order to code combat rating support for TankPoints, the exact rating to percentage formula is required which Blizzard didn't give us. Luckly, I have suceessfully reverse engineered the rating formula for all levels and coded an addon called "Rating Buster" that converts ratings on item tooltips into percentages, you can try it out here.
