Valor sucks. Only worth getting to bank until 0.5 tier for 2/8 chance on heal set bonus.
As for the person's brick wall because they can not raid, that is an issue with schedule and RL commitments, not playing a warrior.
Tanking spots are limited in raids. Few guilds could fit another fury.
Go proc and start with running brd with getting +def legs and trinket. Move up to LBRS/DM runs, then scholo/strat UD. UBRS/start live. State you are taking dps gear as well (start your own group if needed). Spam run and you should be geared in 2-3 weeks.
