It's not exactly a strategy or guide, but I'll post it here anyway. :D Since we got past Garr now we will need more and more fire resistance, especially for the tanks. Some of the 'of Might' pieces will be useful there of course, but a few items can be found outside of MC as well. I put this list together a while ago, feel free to add things/comments! Grul has already posted a list of Dark Iron armor in the 'Useful items for MC' topic, but I'll add them again.
edit: Added some stuff.
HEAD
Dark Iron Helm +35 thottbot.com/?i=40651
Probably the 'easiest' FR helm to get. It doesn't require an insane amount of Dark Iron bars, at least. Fel keeps all the cores locked in his vault, so no clue how many of those we have.
SHOULDERS
Dark Iron Shoulders +10 thottbot.com/?i=8450
CHEST
Breastplate of Might +10 www.thottbot.com/?i=27194
Breastplate of the Chromatic Flight +15 www.thottbot.com/?i=6423
Dark Iron Plate +19 (bop for Armorsmith) thottbot.com/?i=19652
BACK
Fluctuating Cloak of Fire Resistance +15 www.thottbot.com/?i=35973
Drops from the prince in Dire Maul west. Since he has a few different versions of the cloak and isn't exactly easy to get to, don't dedicate your life to getting this.
Wildfire Cape +15 www.thottbot.com/?i=20121
Drops from Emberseer in UBRS has the same amount of FR as the prince's and drops a lot more frequently. Still a question if it's worth dumping a stamina cloak for.
Onyxia Scale Cloak +16 www.thottbot.com/?i=36050
If you can get your hands on a Scale of Onyxia, then get your hands on this cloak!
Smokey's Drape +10 thottbot.org/?i=38728
Quest reward from 'That's Asking A Lot' you get from Smokey LaRue at Ligth's Hope Chapel, EPL.
BRACERS
Emberplate Armguards +25/+10 www.thottbot.com/?i=36243
Incendius drops a lot of different versions of these bracers, all with +10 FR though. He also has leather, mail and cloth versions so don't forget to kill him when you're down there.
Dark Iron Bracers +18 www.thottbot.com/?i=26629
GLOVES
Gauntlets of Might +7 www.thottbot.com/?i=37316
Fiery Plate Gauntlets +10 www.thottbot.com/?i=19094
Not really that great, since there's not even a stamina enchant for gloves. I'll list them anyway. It's a quest reward (the gloves and armorsmith plans).
WAIST
Elemental Plate Girdle of Fire Resistance +10 www.thottbot.com/?i=36144
This Girdle of something or other drops from the tribute in Dire Maul north.
Belt of Might +7 www.thottbot.com/?i=26806
We need to kill more trash mobs. *nods*
LEGS
Flamewaker Legplates +11 www.thottbot.com/?i=37396
Random drop from the bosses in the Core.
BOOTS
Lavawalker Greaves +20 www.thottbot.com/?i=23873
Maleki the Pallid in Stratholme drops these. They're not bad with a +7 stamina enchant, I guess.
Core Forged Greaves +12 www.thottbot.com/?i=37314
..soon..
NECKLACE
Drakefire Amulet +15 www.thottbot.com/?i=4829
Probably the 'easiest' good FR necklace to get: The Onyxia key. And you kill two dwarves with one axe.
Emberfury Talisman +7 www.thottbot.com/?i=19212
UBRS drop from Emberseer again.
RING
Ocean's Breeze +15 www.thottbot.com/?qu=7486
The non-caster quest reward for the 'A Hero's Reward' quest chain given by Duke Hydraxis. He can be found on the southmost (and largest) island off the coast in Azshara. Finishing this chain also lets you acquire the water needed to douse the runes in the Core, meaning we can eventually summon Majordomo.
Seal of Ascension +10 www.thottbot.com/?i=17057
The key to the Upper Spire. Also has +10 FR, but nothing else that would be of use in MC. There are green rings with better FR than that, so keep an eye on the AH.
TRINKET
Codex of Defense +10 www.thottbot.com/?i=35633
The warrior book from Dire Maul.
Blazing Emblem +15 thottbot.org/?i=3765
Boe random worldwide drop.
SHIELD
Draconian Deflector +10 www.thottbot.com/?i=18989
Skullflame Shield +10 thottbot.org/?i=11613
OTHER/ENCHANTS
Libram of Resilience +20 www.thottbot.com/?i=4934
You can put this on head and (!) leg slot item, which gives a nice +40 FR to your armor. Apart from the libram you'll need Burning Essence from the Dark Coffer in BRD and some other items to get the arcanum. Argent Dawn offers a shoulder enchant of +5 FR once you get to revered with them. There's also a regular enchant of +7 FR to cloak, or +5 to all resistances.
Happy FR hunting.
