There is no easy upgrade to the shield you have. Shields are just rare stock outside of raids... the best one drops in Halls of Reflection normal, but that is item level 219, so not much of an upgrade over yours. I can only advice the shield from the Airship battle in ICC 10, its such an easy encounter...
For the belt... well, you can get the one for emblems of frost, or the crafted one from blacksmithing (ilvl 226). The BS one doesn't have a higher ilvl than yours, but it has 2 more sockets...
The Glyph of Indominability is definitely better than the furnace stone.
By the way, you are gemming for a +8 dodge rating socket bonus in your chest, which is kind of a loss of 15 stamina. The socket bonus is not worth gemming for, and you dont need the defense you gemmed for.

Try getting your hands on the Head of Onyxia 25m to get a good solid ilvl245 trinket, the
Purified Onyxia Blood Talisman
.
Never, ever, ever, EVER be caught wearing
Purified Onyxia Blood Talisman
. Just never. It's ridiculously awful, true heir to vanilla's itemization. Only prot warriors soloing old content are permitted to wear it without being accused of stupidity :)
Glyph of Indomitability
is actually really good trinket.
Passive effective health is win. Get rid of Furnace stone. And yes - you are wrong, armor is amazing for tanks, I don't know why you devaluate it on the account of being paladin.
Follow Stamina > Armor > Avoidance gearing model for progression gear set and you can't go wrong.
About the shield - stick with yours. Without stepping foot into a raid, your only ilvl upgrade is this -
Northern Barrier
which has 3 major flaws:
1. It's quite rare nowadays
2. If you manage to find it, it would be quite expensive
3. It's actually worse than your shield, EH speaking.

You really don't have any easy to get upgrades.
Except, the Glyph (Triumph Trinket). Glyph + Black Heart = solid solid solid combo. Armor is the new black.
