I am levelling a paladin just for tanking. I have a 70 hunter and shaman (resto), so only a tank is missing. I also have a druid alt, but my server is so full of druids it's like a zoo in Shattrath. And since 90% of the paladins are indeed holy, I'm going to go where the other 10% has gone, protection. I just made it to level 40, and it's at the same time disturbing and awesome when you prove to a bunch of ignorant fools that paladins can indeed tank.

I have tanked a bit with a 70 pally on the previous PTR, just to know what to expect. So, I think we are on par :P.

No big surprise as I just registered 2 hours ago :P. Anyway, back to tanking. Yesterday I tanked an SM cathedral run, it's kind of a pain pulling mobs from the cathedral itself. After a while I just let the rogue do it :P.
That seems to be my paladin's biggest problem, pulling a pack without pulling another. Avenger's Shield will take of that, hopefully :P.

Squeezie is right, if you need tips on paladin tanking though, i highly suggest you drop by the paladin forums and leave a post with your armory profile and any problems you have encountered.
as for pulling discreetly, I suggest purchasing a couple EZ throw dynamites, came really handy for me :D

I raided as a holy priest from MC -> Kel'thuzad.
I raided as a fire mage from Gruul -> Illidan.
I recently decided to start tanking (offtanking is more like it, really) on my prot paladin.
Yeah.. I'm not going back. I like using more than 3 buttons. I like being forced to optimize situational awareness.
Most of all, I like controlling the repair bills of people who annoy the living bejesus out of me.
