i have to switch stances
This.
However low level protection is not "endgame" protection. Thunderclap, revenge and shield block are your friends until you get more abilities.
Sunder armor is great threat, but unaffordable unless you tank a red level boss mob.

Be sure your geared in defensive-oriented gear and stay in Defensive stance at all times. Also have the
Armsman
gloves enchant.
That's just in my opinion what you should do.

The key is that you MUST be in defensive stance. Your have threat modifiers for each stance. In Battle and Berserker stance you have a threat modifier of 80%, but in Defensive stance you have a threat modifier of 207%.
As long as you are in defensive stance you should be able to hold agro. In prot gear, you should be perfectly able to tank any heroic while arms spec. Instead of Shield Slam, Revenge, and Devastate, you will be using Shield Slam, Revenge, and Mortal Strike. One of the big differences is that you should have Unrelenting Assault in your Arms build, which means Revenge will be available a LOT more often than in a Prot build.
