From T4 this is the best gear for tanking (highest aggro/high survivability).
Fearless: legs, chest, helm
Courageous: wrists, shoulders
Indomitable: belt, boots, hands
If you just want prot full FS is obviously the way to go.
The full Indomitable set is trash, it's no better than 6 man gear, waste of relics.
