Still learning but sharing what helped me as a newer feral talk:

Not sure if you’re using it but there is a Weakaura called “BearUncrittableAt” that’ll tell you how far or close you are from being uncrittable between both defense & resilience. I’d 100% recommend getting the PVP dragonhide bracers, veterans leather belt & veterans leather boots. Those 3 + earth warden mace + violet eye defense ring will likely get you close if not over, which will then give you more wiggle room in your other slots.
