This list is not exhaustive. This list is NOT BIS (although some items might be). It is meant as a general guide for things that MIGHT be a good DKP value (GOOD items that are warrior only may go cheap depending on who is there), or be purchasable with plat (assuming you got some plat to dump as warriors are costy). Generally the items are listed from most ideal to less ideal within the same category. Obviously Vulak and Doze loot is better than what I listed here, but you said for value, so that is taken into consideration.

If you are a woodelf you need to ensure that you have 205 stamina unbuffed with your agro weapons. Ideally, every item you are wearing when you are tanking has +HP as well (preferably the max available on that slot). You always want to ensure you have at least 34% haste (41% ideally).... generally that means making sure you pick a belt and cloak that match.
Another thing to consider is where you plan on taking this character and what you plan on doing with it. If one day you want to make it VERY HIGH END, then dont waste DKP on stuff like a Dagarn belt (potentially costly for a non 100HP item on a 100 HP slot), when you know you gonna want a Dain or Tunare belt eventually. In that case, focus on resellable plat items temporarily (seahorse belt), or slots that go cheap (sky 41 haste belt). If you eventually want a specific item, plan on it now, and work around that for your temporary slots.
Also, this doesnt include the absolute shit ton on NON worn item clickies you gonna want. Invis BP/Legs, Lev Cloak, Jboots, SoW Sword, etc, etc, etc. I included items like 2H DPS weapons so you can have an idea of what might be worth picking up CHEAP. DONT WASTE DKP ON DPS ITEMS IF YOU ARE A WARRIOR, YOU ARE A TANK... IF YOU WANNA DPS MAKE A ROGUE. Yes warriors can be solid DPS, but its not your primary objective and blowing DKP on DPS items when you are a sub 6k tank is just wasteful. And Frostreaver is a good "bang for your buck" weapon, but real talk, you want 2 x 1H agro weapons for tanking.
GOOD LUCK at this expensive endeavor!
