Haven't been able to play this toon in a while. Trying to get him tank ready. I've read the stickies and got some good info from there. Still have a few questions that i might have missed in there. I think i am def cap min with my def rating and little resilience i have. I know I need trinkets. Going to run regular HoL to get the tank trinket there before i even think about heroics. Is

ok to use til i can get the Arcanum of the Stalwart Protector for the head slot? I am close to exalted with SoH for the better shoulder enchant. I also plan on getting +40 Sta enchant for Bracers. What should i get for hands? +20 Hit or Armsman? I put Tuskar's Vitality on boots because stickies said that was a good one, but does it interact at all with Pursuit of Justice? Think i'm good on Major glyphs, but not sure on minor. And any suggestions on how I spec'd? And yes i know i need to get the mining and JC up. Thanks and feel free to flame away.

First of all, yes, it seems like a alright head enchant while you're still gearing up in 80 dungeons/heroics. Make sure to buy an Argent Crusade tabard so you get rep while you're farming gear.
For hands just get a cheap one until you get a decent piece you'll replace really soon.
IIRC other movement speed bonuses don't stack with PoJ but I might be wrong.
I'll give you a beginning talent tree in a moment, gotta go vacuum >:

Thanks for the comments. I have the AC tabard on and will keep it til i get the Arcanum, think i am about halfway through honored. I might just put a +Sta armor kit on the gloves then til i get better ones, i feel i'm a little low on health anyway. I wanted to know about the boot enchant, so i could maybe move those 2 talent points out of PoJ and put them somewhere else.

Just a tip for starting out because you will primarily run heroics i would try this build (
strictly heroics running
).
Or if you want slightly more versatility go with
this
.
The pure raid tank build is pretty much that minus Seal of Command, there has been a truckload of debate on this topic of recent and really unless you have no intention of running heroics at all or just dislike seal of command (which is a personal opinion) then the 1% less crit is not worth the lack of seal of command.
On your health concern, in random groups it will likely be a topic people will complain about, however if you are good at what you do you should manage fine. You will find once you start rolling into heroics that the health pool will start skyrocketing, the best tip i can provide is never be cheap and don't enchant a piece as a tank however if you see it being replaced soon (with an emblem upgrade or an icc5 drop) then i would recommend a nice cheap chant and green or blue quality gems. Once and upgrade looks like it will staying around for at least a week its worth upgrading to top tier chants (unless you log less then say 8 hours game time a week).
Well hope i have helped you out a bit, any more questions feel free to throw them out there. From time to time you might get a troll or anal retentive tard but mostly we will help if you ask politely and the question isn't the first line of the stickies which is bolded and in size 9999999999999999999999999999 font (eg. hit cap), (slight exaggeration but you get the point).

Thanks Slasher. I think i will try the heroic one you put out there. I will get the SoCom glyph too. That also takes the points out of PoJ and puts them to better use. I figured the health would be an issue. I will work on that too.

If you have any other 80 toon exalted with Northrend factions, obtaining Arcanums shouldn't be a problem, since they are account bound now.

Thanks AnrDaemon, thats good too know. I respec'd to the SoCom build Slasher suggested and i like it. I got exalted with SoH and got the higher shoulder enchant. I got +18 sta for gloves. I put +7 sta for bracers till i can afford the +40. going to start running HoL for the trinket this week. Thank you all for the great suggestions.

Pursuit of Justice = Tuskarr's
(speed-wise)
Tuskarr's = 8%.
PoJ = 15%.

Thanks for the good info guys. I will try to get the tank ring
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=43248
and put a
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40008
in it. I can switch the belt gem for
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40089
and
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40056
for the pants. And i was thinking for a cheap trinket til i can get my jc up or get an upgade in dungeon
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=31080
. That should raise my overall stamina +59 if i added correctly. I think i will leave the tuskar's til i get different boots since i already spent the money on it, then respec to get PoJ. And change to the DP glyph.

While I don't know much about tanking enchants anymore (and I don't care about my paladin at all), I just thought I'd mention that you can edit your posts instead of posting again 6 minutes later. grats on your almost +40 stam.
