Pally with King's Defender

So I just got King's Defender on my paladin cause, well... No one really needed it so I was wondering if it actually was of any use to me... People have told me to use a spell damage weapon, however, I know I've seen somewhere that pallies should also have a second "set" of gear for mitigation where King's Defender would shine. My spell damage weapon is currently
Continuum Blade
and I'm gonna be working on getting
Cudgel of Consecration
.
If King's Defender would be good for a pally what kind of enchant should I go for? Mongoose or Spell Damage?
Thanks in advanced!

Currently, it has no real use in paladin tanking. You could make up for the lack of spell damage by building a spell damage set, but then your defense, avoidance and stamina will probably take a hit. Of course, once you build that spell damage set, you'll still get more damage from a caster weapon than you will from King's Defender.
It could be a viable option for the early stages of WotLK, depending on how much stamina your tank gear has to contribute to your spell damage. The 51-point HotR talent will also benefit from a real weapon, not a caster weapon.
In the meantime, keep it in the bank. If you happen to be ret-speced and are called upon to off-tank something, it might be useful, but that's a rare situation.

Stick to the
Continuum Blade
. You need the spell dmg from your weapon to generate enough TPS. All your other gear should be tanking gear, while your weapon, at the least, have spell dmg. This is the only time I suggest taking spell dmg over defence's

If you have bad luck on getting the Cudgel to drop, don't forget about the
Merciless Gladiator's Gavel
. Yes, it is PvP gear, but it is also quite nice and will last you a while. Though depending on how your battlegroup does, you may take an ice-cream scoop to your eyes.

The King's defender is a good paladin tanking weapon, esp when your DPS starts getting on your nerves :P
