Hey dude. So by the language of your post I'm guess for right now your just focusign on heroics? trying to get some gear...maybe more to raiding later?
Let me know what you want to do, and I might be able to give you a better read on your spec.
As for now, your spec is fine for heroics. If your using SOV then your 5 points in Seals of the Pure, then as long as you are trying to split your attacks on the different adds you should be holding threat on 3-5 targets no problem.
Gemming for strenght? hmmm maybe maybe not, untill you get into the raiding enviorment your allowed to do whatever you want, because almost anything you do will work and work passably.
Gear.....your socketing for hit, but your over 1% over the hit cap already. Change that. socket for some Def/stam instead.
Glyphs, again with 5 points in Seals of the Pure your single traget threat should be pretty good. There is no nead to nerf Avengers shield with the glph that only lets it hit one target. Hitting 3 targets and silencing 3 targets is amazing for pulling mobs.
Hammer of justice glphy? 1.) your not even speced for any CD reduction for the skill...so how often are you using it? 2.) do you really need 5 more yards on it? 5 yards helps in PVP, but as a tank for PVE, your going to want the mobs on you. Not running away from you.
Cheers,
Hat

Hi
Just one thing, dump the tier shoulders and headpiece and get the Ilvl245 from the vendor, they give a lot more bang for your buck and the 4 piece bonus from tier 9 is not that good ( someone correct me if i am wrong), neither is T10 4 piece bonus.
EDIT:I will not coment on spec and glyphs because there are more knowledgeble posters around and I might ending giving wrong advice.
About you losing aggro to someone I can almost bet it was not on a boss ( unless we are speaking of a raid boss in the first few seconds), wich means that someone was spaming AoE for all they were worth it or it was a warrior with chargebladestormheroicrushexecute or whatever it is they have a nasty habit of doing even before we get to the mob pack in wich case I will give you the best advice ever, let them die and they will understand what it was they were doing wrong ( or mobs will die so quick it wont really matter )

Yeah a lot of people I know think that the T9 bonus isn't very spectacular.

T9 2 piece bonus is very good for tanks that are just starting to learn how to tank heroics. the 2 second reduction on a single target taunt is a very forgiving help to the paladins out there that can hold 3 targets because of hammer of righteousness, but aren't doing their rotation exactly right to hold that last target that keeps getting away.
Its not good to think that your single target taunt will always have the Cooldown CD, because as it has been said other pieces of gear can easily do better things for you than just a 5% increase in Hammer of righteousness DPS.
Please tell me you ment that the T9 4 piece was the useless one, because the T10 4 piece is amazing...anyways, T9 4 piece, Reducing your CD on divine protection is BAD, you will just get yourself into bad habits of trying to use it whenever its off CD.
Read this for more on that.
T10 2 piece, 25% increase in damage? Hell ya that's what I'm talking about. 10K hammer hits in heroics make my day.
T10 4 piece. 12% dodge for 10 seconds on a one minute CD! I think i just cried a little bit with joy. This is the first worth while set bonus that I see for prot since i started playing in lich king.
-Raids: Its like having a third trinket to use <3
-heroics: ever run out of mana because you DP falls off? well now when you cast DP your also going to be increasing your mana returns from the dodges!
Can't wait to get this set together!
Cheers,

I meant the T9 4 piece bonus, as He was using 4 pieces of it and I advised to lose the shoulders and the Helm.
T10 2 piece, 25% increase in damage? Hell ya that's what I'm talking about. 10K hammer hits in heroics make my day.
about this I am really looking forward to.

The juri is still out for this one for me but it doens't looks that good to me, about mana in heroics I solved it by going to H Old Hilsbrad, ganking Don Carlos and stealing is hat (

) and also removing rings and trinkets.
