Cap usual mean you dont need anymore, but there's nothing wrong with more than 540, as it still helps you..

Good luck with your DK tank.

^^ he is right. There is no DEF cap there is a point in stacking defense where you'll be uncrittable which happens to be the 540 but stacking more then that is nothing wrong if your just getting started it'd be best to try your best to hit the min 535/540 for heroics and work it up a bit more as you go on raiding obtaining better gear. Defense is getting removed in the next xpac due to people who believe there is a cap and it's worthless after that. Again you become uncrittable via raidbosses at around 540+ I personally have 569 Def on average. You'll wanna collect dodge and parry a bunch as well with a DK since ya dont have a sheild.
