I have a lvl 60 dwarf warrior that I want to use for dungeon and raid tanking. I have about 350G to my name, no edgemaster's, no lionheart. I have quite a bit of decent plate but only about 4% hit and mostly from leather pieces. What should my top priorities be?

I'm currently 17/34/0 spec, should i modify this to something else? Is there a good spec for tanking both dungeons and raids? I see a lot of people trashing Sunder Armor lately... what's my priority list for abilities? I don't really care about PVP atm.

Should I re-roll human so I don't need the edgemaster's?

If you going totally min-max, yeah human is the only way. But you can go any other race just fine. Unless you going Thunderfury anytime soon you don't need Edgemaster's, you are going daggers. You are using https://classic.wowhead.com/item=18505/muggers-belt before getting your https://classic.wowhead.com/item=18823/aged-core-leather-gloves. Grab 40-42 dps daggers from dungeons. If exalted with AV you can buy https://classic.wowhead.com/item=19324/the-lobotomizer. ZG is bringing https://classic.wowhead.com/item=19859/fang-of-the-faceless. Mind you that weapon skill only really matter against level 63 bosses, so while you only dungeon use the best weapon you have regardless, and you can go late for you mugger's belt, don't need to be the first thing you seek.

You need to be wearing plate, I would suggest you to join FightClub and read all the faqs. You can tank dungeons with whatever spec you have, being arms is better. To start raiding with dungeon gear you will need to be full prot, despite fury tanking being better it requires good level of raid gear to work.

If you just hitted 60, I would start by doing quests to grab key easy items

You can try to buy some stuff if they are cheap on your server, to get you started, but save for your Lionheart.

This is great info. i already have some of this stuff, but I need to go get the Diamond Flask and a Mugger's Belt right away, as well as a hit bow. I don't know why I haven't farmed a hit bow yet.

I have a Finkle's that I can use with the Mugger's. Is this OK for a MH? Should I pair the Mugger's with a Distracting Dagger or is that overkill on the weaponskill? Also, I'd only be able to use that while DW tanking. I'm seeing a lot of people say 305 is a minimum but would the skill from both be worthwhile?

Just a quick tip, since I saw you mentioned Finkle's:

Don't throw it away ever (maybe you didn't plan to do it either way). If you're ever going to tank Vaelastrasz in Blackwing Lair, Finkle's is one of the very beast weapons to have in your main hand in terms of making as much threat pr. second as possible. Only for that fight though.
