No stamina, no dodge, and no bonus threat moves (though that's probably not the biggest problem as long as it's single target tanking).

14k is not high stamina. 18k+ is high stamina.
No dodge means you get hit by 100% of the mobs hits. Whereas all "real" tanks have at least dodge (+parry/block for some) to mitigate damage. 30% is already low for them, that means a moonkin already takes 30% more damage.
Regarding armor, moonkins have the same modifier but won't use gear with as much armor as tanks if they wan't to have enough spell damage.
Anyways, moonkin tanking has been done and can be done. What we're all saying is that it only works because the moonkin is overgeared for that fight and by putting more stress on healers/having the dps do less.
