OK Maybe I'm missing something here but reviewing the pre-Kara Uncrushable guide and looking at the summary it appears that while uncrushable (> 102.4% Avoidance) with only 345 defense rating you will be very susceptible to crits. Am I some how misreading the guide?
Ok now for the summary of all those stats.
Sta: 467 (from gear) + 123 (base for a BE) + 192 (16 gem slots all filled with +12sta gems) = 782 * 1.06(the talent any decent protadin will have) == 828.92 stam
Def: 345 Rating: /25*4 = 26.2 avoidance from Def (block/dodge/parry/miss)
Block: 82 Rating: 82/7.9 = 10.4 Avoidance
Dodge: 118 Rating: 118/18.9 = 6.24 Avoidance
Parry: 0 = 0
SO:
That stam == 11,606 Hp
Total Block = 21.95
Total Dodge = 17.79
Total Parry = 16.55
Total miss = 11.55
Block From HS = 35%
All this together makes :
HP = 11606
Avoidance = 102.8%
So as i said 11.5k HP and Uncrushable.

the "commonly accepted" build seems a little.....um....stupid....in the protection talent tree reckoning is amazing even if you arent tanking its good....if you really want to you could go down into protection until you get 5/5 in reckoning and then put the rest in....ret...and youd hit pretty hard....but since this is a tank build....no 2h....getting in reckoning is normally a good idea.

1: stop using "..."
2: 5/5 reckoning and retribution is a PvP/soloing build since DPS shouldn't be taking constant damage
3: reckoning diminishes in effect as you progress in raids as a tank
4: get facts to back yourself up next time

With multiple mobs hitting you, it will always be up. So I suggest moving the 5 points from 1H weapon spec to reckoning. It's much better to have +100% damage than +5%. If you are only fighting solo mobs, than 1H spec MIGHT be better.
Even with multiple mobs (~2-6 in a heroic or a raid) hitting me, with 40+% pure avoidance in my trash tanking gear there's only ~10% (4 mobs) chance that that reckoning will proc per swing timer, be it 2 seconds (normal) or 2.4 seconds (thunder-clapped mobs) that's only ~55% chance that you will get 1 reckoning and ~35% chance of no reckoning over the duration (~25 seconds) of the entire trash pull. It's by far worth 5 talent points. It's far from always being up.
It's not +100% damage, it's only your swings, and by far, Consecration DPS is on par with, if not higher, than my Seal DPS. If you're multi-tanking, it's better to have the threat spread out on all mobs rather than Switching targets frequently (it nullifies the benefits of whatever judgements you have applied)
Or focus firing individual thrash
Reckoning is a Single-target TPS boost, it can boost your TPS on a single target by up to 400 when it procs.

Wow, this is everything I was wondering about being a pally tank, since I'm leveling one right now. Kudos to you!
