So, 99% chance I'm going tankadin with few points dashed into holy in a few hours. I've got some good gear for tank, but I'm having a hard time making a discion:

Windroc Greaves
OR
Flesh Beast's Metal Greaves

and
Warmaul Epaulets of the Champion
OR
Marshstrider's Spaulders

I'm leaning towards the Windroc Greaves and the Warmaul Epaulets simply because they give more +stam. If you want to check the build I am considering, go to here:

It's in the talent spec help thread. All input will be greatly helpful!

Windroc and Marshstrider. Reaching the defense cap is your number one priority right now, then try to pile on stamina. Use pieces with shield block value and dodge over parry/block%/strength.

You will need benediction and improved judgement to tank in a five man setting. Deflection will be required for tanking raid bosses to help push crushing blows off of the attack table. I also recommend maxing out toughness (this will scale much better than improved devo aura) and one-handed weapon specialization. Don't sink points into anticipation unless you absolutely need them to reach the defense cap.

That's interesting because I posted this in the Pally boards on wow.com and one guy suggested the flesh beast's and the warmaul pauldrons. He said Flesh Beast's b/c the stats are much more crutial than the extra 3 stam, and I can't remember why the warmaul pauldrons.

But as for the build, I don't like it very much. For raiding, yes, I can see where that is helpful but I'm looking more for a solo AoE grinding build. I dumped into holy so that I can still maximize my heals with minimum mana useage.

Here's another build I've been tinkering with:

Also, this may seem like a very very stupid question (comming from a Paladin of my level)... I don't use Divine Protection at all b/c it's on the same cool down as Divine shield. I also don't use purify at all, because cleanse is much better. As a tankadin, should I also be using DP since the cool down of DS is lowered? And should I keep purify somewhere on my action bars again?

Purify is outdated. Take it off your bars. DP is outdated.. use DS.

Divine Protection is actually a lot more viable now that both it and Divine Shield cause Forbearance and have separate cooldowns. Divine Shield has a 5 (4 if you have the talent) minute cooldown, but Forbearance only takes one minute to fade.
