well, you have a spellpower weapon, swap that out for a normal weapon or a tanking weapon, pallies do not use spellpower weapons to tank anymore. Also, you have 1 trinket you could swap out for something better...anything would be an upgrade over the power infused mushroom really. I would take points out of reckoning and put 2 into judgement of the just and probably delve down into the ret tree a bit more on conviction. Grab a stam/agil leg enchant for your legs and maybe some borean/heavy borean leather patchs to help with the stam. I would also swap out the scouts ring as the above poster pointed out. Honestly tanking is rough in northrend if you just have the cobalt set, once you upgrade to some of the tempered saronite pieces/quest items/instance drops things should go smoother.

Also, you might look into leveling your blacksmithing... it gives you 3 free sockets you can gem with stam :)

Well you definately don't seem undergeared to me, i'd say maybe it has something to do with how you tank if you are feeling sqishy.
- Some of the pulls in Nexus are 4 mobs at a time tho', on these if you find your healer struggling use CC, or at least HoJ as a defensive tool, less people hitting ya, less damage taken, happy healer :)
- Also make sure to keep Holy Sheild up at all times, that 30% block helps a load to mitigate damage.
- Consider switching to JoL and/or SoL if your helth bar is going down rapidly.
- Not sure what Palarock meant by "str and the rating is the best way to go ", whilst you'll find that lots of your kit has str on it, don't focus on getting it. It might help with your TPS a bit but at the end of the day unless you are running with much higher level dps threat wont be an issue (oh and str does contribute to BV - but not a priority).
- Don't be afraid to ask for CC of targets by your dps.
- Don't just AoE everything down, whilst this may be faster, it will definately be slower if it results in your death... dps'ing one target down 1st then switching to the next and so on will greatly improve your survivability, though it may slow down the run - depends how much you are struggling.
GL tanking :)
