Blade Ward
or
Accuracy
? Regardless of what best suits the current stats, which one of these would benefit a Paladin Tank best, considering I favor using
Axe of the Sen'jin Protector
.
Any decent advise is welcome :)

1) This should probably go into the Paladin forums, rather than the Theorycrafting forum.
2) It depends on the rest of your gear and your tanking style. For example, if you're concerned about threat, then you should be enchanting for the crit and hit. If you don't have worries about threat, and you need avoidance, then you should be enchanting accordingly.
3) You're a Blood Elf. You'd get more benefit from being a Dwarf, compared to the relative benefits of either of those enchants ;p

From everything I've seen, Blade Ward is a very poor enchant for Paladins. A lot of the abilities Paladins use can not cause a proc, as opposed to Warriors where just about everything can cause a proc. Our raid's main Paladin tank uses Blade Ward and shows terrible uptime with it when you go back and check WWS or WMO stats.
Some people like Blood Draining, but I never really liked it. It's possible that very rarely it can save your life, but the rest of the time it's a total waste. If you want an avoidance enchant, as a Paladin you would probably prefer Mongoose over Blade Ward. And for threat, if you can use the extra hit rating then Accuracy is your best bet (and what I am currently using on my Warrior).

Not sure how that's helpful in any way.

Yeah, unfortunately. Over in the pally forums, we're testing out a Prot DPS build, and it's frustrating seeing the number of abilities that don't result in a 'strike'.

It wasn't supposed to be. Just showing my bias towards traditional paladin classes ;p

*sigh* the number of people online who don't understand sarcasm and irony...
You've got people rerolling Priests just to give their guild an extra healer. At least rerolling a Dwarf Pally will be easier, since Paladins level faster.
I could've said that the OP should stick to Holy, since that's all Blood Elves are good for. Except that might have actually been taken as real advice. ;p
