There's something odd going on with the armory as I cannot determine what skill level your mining or blacksmithing are.
If you're a Northrend-capable smith, just make it yourself.
Otherwise, mine up the cobalt and contract a BS to make it for you - it'll take 37 bars for the full set according to the item-specific threads.
Also start looking into the Tempered Saronite and Daunting items around 77 which (supplemented with some enchants and gems) should allow you to tank heroics at 80.

I have ran UK with a 77 pally healing me, But i did not last long when a 71 druid tried. I think i will go to Borean Tundra. I have heard a lot about the axe there, or is there a better one i can get when i am 72, 73, 74ish.
My BSing is lacking and I am very poor,
My newbie-guild is trying to get every one to 80 so we can start 5man heroics, then naxx 10 and 25. So, i do not want too spend to much time/ money on lvl 70 tanking gear when i need to be lvl 80.
My HP is low I bring stam food all the time but it dose not make up for it. I could use more gear with gem sockets and stack stam.

There are basically two decent level 70-ish axes that are available. One is a drop, and is not entirely a tanking weapon (
Ingvar's Monolithic Cleaver
- no stam) and the other is quested via a long chain + group finisher (
Axe of Frozen Death
).

Your HP is low because you're using BC gear and gems.
If you quest in Borean Tundra, you'll get a lot of
good gear with stamina
(keep in mind faction limitations as I didn't split the search). However, since you're tanking, you'll definitely want to supplement that with the
blacksmithed Cobalt
gear.
Don't forget cheap armor patches, too -
Borean armor kits
are often cheap and are good hold-overs for decent enchants.

What you have to do, is go to the area next to Nexus and do the quest chains there until you get some nexus quests. Those reward exceptional tanking gear.
Once you run nexus the first time, you'll be a geared tank. Just get those quests first.

I tanked Nexus with no trouble, and UK is next.
What do i need to look for 75, 76, 77ish? Will the Boss drops do the job or do i need More?
