SCHW vs FBSS

You do not want to max ac in an inferior tier haste anyway... Think of ac with seahorse belt/cof... You don't need to care about 4miserable ac until you get better gear...

Dragonborn sash is worth the investment over FBSS. It’s less to do with the ac (though that’s a perk) and more to do with 3% more haste. Upgrade cost is fairly cheap and the item holds its value well. Upgrading haste beyond 24% gets expensive really fast. For most tanks at this level of gameplay, that extra haste will help with threat generation.

For primary haste after the Dragonborn level I’d skip RBG (27) and go for at least RBB (31).

Best tradable haste item now? For the value I’d argue seahorse belt at 34% haste and solid stats. It frees up cloak for something statewise better than the CoF ... which is 20k more expensive. 34% will put you at or close to the cap with ench haste.

Unsure for pure melee tank, but atm as hybrid tank seahorse makes more sense than cocw or cof...
