...so what level are you? If you're level 80, you have no reason to be wanting level 70 epics at all.
If you're level 70, just go to Northrend and do quests. You'll get all the gear you need, very easily, to be able to do level 72 instances.
If you're having this much trouble tanking, I really suggest you look through the Paladin tanking guides. From all of my experience, Paladins are some of the easiest tanks to play up until raids where every tank gets challenged with aggro swaps, etc.
Also of note -- I would guess that 70 Heroics are much tougher than a level 72 regular instance.

Decent tanking gear - the BS crafted Cobalt armor set. Oodles of Strength, Stamina and Defence Rating. I think I popped into Northrend, grinded Cobalt and quests for about an hour or two, and was practically geared to tank Nexus.
I agree that DKs probably have an easier time, as do Feral Druids too, since it's just a spec/form change, and suddenly they get boosted armor, reduced damage, etc. We actually need to spend more time gearing. But that's a key point too. An undergeared DK with the wrong spec will still be a horrible tank, or else they'll be doing very sub-par DPS because they picked survival skills instead of damage dealing skills.
You're being too hard on yourself, I think. Head into Northrend and gear up there. The level of gear there on greens will quickly replace the epics you can pick up in Outland.

Sorry, but I really can't see whats so tough about gearing up in Northrend. It's even easier than ever, because you don't have to hope for items to drop and then roll against dps who want to collect tank gear the easy way ;) (in the beginning, that is. at some point midway to 80 tank gear starts to drop in dungeons)

You get that set, then you work your way up through all the dungeons, doing the quests for those dungeons, which will have blue quality tank pieces as rewards. ( most of the quests, at least).
Do
Wanted:Ragemane's Flipper
in Zul'Drak when you reach 74 for a decent Weapon, and get those crafted Tempered Saronite pieces that are an upgrade for you.
