i relise pvp gear is usualy a nono, but is the dodge you gain from the pve shield worth the loss of str stam and armor if i replace the pvp shield?

Sub-optimal advice.
Optimal advice would be:
If you need more threat, then keep the Hit. If you don't need more threat, then reforge for damage reduction.
not sub optimal just not sure what is hit was just giving quick advice.

Get the
JP shield
, better than both. Tanking is about stacking mastery and stamina at the moment, so two shields with no mastery are both sub-optimal. After mastery and stamina (where stamina is purely based on ilvl) then your best stats are dodge > parry > expertise > hit, assuming like almost every tank (because of str to parry conversion) that your dodge is lower than parry.
If you have like 8k to spend, get the
blacksmith shield
, it will blow your mind, and last well into heroic raids. Its definitely a "buy, enchant, reforge and forget the slot" kind of item.

See, even TKitch agrees. Clearly it is correct.
Captcha: "parmeste 26-33" seriously?

Agreed reforging for a
Protection Paladin
is straight forward. Reforge all you can into Mastery first, if you can't then Parry/Dodge (whichever is lower). I just let Hit/Expertise work themselves out. Working so far.
