As the title says i have just finished tanking my first instance as a paladin(had to make it shattered halls).
Firstly i would like some people who are slightly better with protadins to have a look at my gear and check it is alrite. My armoury is (am still in ret gear and ret spec so will link armory later)
My main question is how am i sposed to keep holy shield up when tanking more than about 3 mobs. The charges on holy sheild tend to be used up very quickly on mobs like these and because of the cooldown i have no real way, as far as i can see, of keeping it up constantly.
Next question... Would down ranking consecration be a bad idea... i mean while tanking SH today i found that i was going out of mana quite quickly trying to keep consecration up all the time.
Final question... I also saw that in SH today i was blocking/parrying preety much every incoming attack. This meant i was not taking any dmg and so could not regain mana from spiritual attunement. Is this just a problem of too much avoidance, could be a distinct possibility as i only have 11k hp with fortitude and 20% unbuffed block

Keeping Holy shield up when multi-mob tanking only means that you're spamming it whenever it's up.
It really only matters when you're tanking boss mobs (?) that it matters due to crushing blows.
if you're running OOM, that means that you're overgearred, just take your pants off or sit down once in a while, I find that keeping max rank consecrate is better due to faster threat gains
as to your parry/dodge/miss, I'll have to see your armory link to tell you... but it could have been just dumb luck

So for gems i should be putting 12 stamina in all... but what if the socket bonus were to give a useful stat what would i put in yellow or red sockets? As far as enchanting stuff goes this was offspec gear untill the other day so have been working slowly tring to grind enuf money/mats to enchant it all

Red socket, gem Regal Nightseye
Yellow socket, gem Enduring Talasite?
When tanking many mobs, Holy Shield is really just for some cheap threat. There's no chance, as Blademeld said, that you'd be able to keep it up all the time.
