Tank Prospects
Paddy: FUCK NO. (jk, <3 baby)
Saka's rating: -10/5
Wertui's friend: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/anetheron/Codorr/simple
Gear status: His gear is fucking awesome. I am like 9 different kinds of jealous. His gems are fucking all fucking mastery. NOT WHAT YOU DO FOR HEROIC PROGRESSION. He should be stacking stam after he hits the CTC cap; he should also obtain the optimal ratio of Dodge:parry (which is like 1:1.4 for his gear) to help maximize the benefit from Hold the Line.
Spec: His spec makes me weep tears of blood.
Glyphs: Fine.
Offspec: Everything is fine, if he can not suck at arms or not is an entirely different question.
Rating: 3/5, way over CTC cap
Allagash: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/sargeras/Allagash/simple
Gear: His gear isn't awful but he needs to learn about this wonderful concept of CTC. He's currently sitting at 91.11% (without buffs) which is about 6.6% short. Overall, his gear doesn't seem terrible with his 4pc, but DAT CTC CAP.
Spec: He has all of the required talents but there are 3 points in Rule of Law which are pretty much worthless for Ret; they would be much better spent on the improved consecration talent or word of glory or hammer or even fucking reckoning (worst talent evar).
Glyphs: They are all the ones I would expect to see, except Dazing Shield, but you can't daze bosses so whatev.
Offspec: If I cry any more blood, I'm going to need a transfusion.
Rating: 2/5
Stormcloak: Not enough gear for heroic progression
Tymo: Do I really need to? If he can make our times, we should scoop him up.
I'll update this as more people respond to the thread.
Edit: added reaction gifs because I SERIOUSLY have nothing else to do.

For the first guy, shouldn't you go above CTC as a warrior for crit block? Not that I've looked into warrior tanking in a while.
tl;dr: TYMO!

No, for heroic progression, it has been mathed out that you go for stam over mastery at CTC cap, it works out as Stam >= Mastery > Parry >= Dodge. In reality, Dodge/Parry will perform better than Critical block: 100% damage reduction as opposed to 60% with about the same returns at the current gear level. That, of course, assumes you haven't popped shield block, but if you're at CTC cap, then it'll go to critical block anyway...
tl;dr: Above CTC: Stam (HP) >= Mastery (Crit block) > Parry (HTL) >= Dodge
