To the OP, you are missing some KEY Prot talents. This is the spec and glyphs I would use:
Prot Spec
Also I would start with marking the pack. Heroic Throw or shoot them to pull them back a bit, charge when they are in range. Start with a Thunderclap then Shockwave. Immediately Shield Slam your Skull target, then spam Cleaves. You should be set.

There are no KEY talents missing in that spec developed. For raid boss fights that spec should work quite well.
About the only thing I would change would be to trade out the Sunder Glyph for Shield Wall to go max survuvablity or Heroic Strike depending on how my rage was.
He's missing both Imp Thunderclap and Incite. Also he traded points in Impale and Cruelty for Puncture and Imp Demo Shout. I would definitely switch those.

Ok, so ive been thinking of what spec i want to go at 80, and i defiantly want to go prot. Ive done alot of research of how to tank as a warrior and ive realized that, although warriors are fully capible of tanking multiple mobs, it is easier to AoE tank as a pally or DK. So I decided it would be fun to be a raid boss tank. I realize that I will have to AoE tank when running 5 mans, but for raiding I want to be the tank for raid bosses while the pallys and dks do trash pulls.
i have to say, you're making way too many assumptions about what's gonna happen when you get into raids. pallys and DK's make excellent boss tanks, as do warriors and bears. good luck finding a tank that's happy with just tanking trash and letting you have all the bosses.
warriors do just fine with multi-mob tanking these days, and depending on the fight, even have some advantages over the classes you mentioned.
as far as spec, glyphs, etc, it completely depends on the content that you're doing. there is no one-size-fits-all spec for tanks. however, the one you posted is not viable, especially not for raiding.
no incite, no imp TC, wasted points in puncture, wasted points in spell reflect, imp charge is only a filler talent (although a good one) if you're going to pick up DW.
