Versatile Royal Quartz) in all other sockets.

Consumables for Guardian Druids
Best Flasks and Potions for Guardian
Greater Flask of the Currents should be used in most situations. If you
need a bit of extra health, 
Greater Flask of the Vast Horizon should be
used.
Potion of Unbridled Fury will generally be the highest DPS potion.
Superior Battle Potion of Agility should be used in defensive situations.
For pure single-target DPS, you may opt to use
Potion of Focused Resolve. If you have at least 4 enemies nearby,
Potion of Empowered Proximity grants more Agility than
Superior Battle Potion of Agility.
In Battle for Azeroth you will use 
Abyssal Healing Potion as your
healing potion. Healing potions no longer share a cooldown with
Healthstones, so you can use both if you have access to a
Warlock.
Best Food for Guardian
You should eat 
Famine Evaluator And Snack Table for the buff to your
Agility. If you want to buff your Stamina instead of your Agility, you can use
Fragrant Kakavia. You may also choose to use 
Honey Potpie in
Mythic+ to assist in kiting enemies.
Augment Runes for Guardian
If you can afford it, you should use 
Battle-Scarred Augment Runes to
increase your primary stat. Since there is a finite amount of these runes
available, you should make sure to use them wisely and to stock up on them
for when you need them.

Patch 8.2 Profession Changes
This guide has been written by Pumps who has played since Vanilla and has tanked in Honestly, the #1 Oceanic raiding guild, since Mists of Pandaria. He also played in the first MDI Mythic+ Dungeon Tournament, where his team placed second. His mindset on tanking has always been taking the utility and damage one can bring to the raid to the next level. He was the #1 Rank DPS Guardian Druid for 5 tiers in a row and top the 1-6 for the last 12 tiers, playing Guardian Druid, Brewmaster Monk and Protection Warrior mainly based on what is the strongest for progression at the time. You can find him on discord — Pumps#0734 — and on Twitch.
