With the stats posted, you should be ok for tanking heroics. I haven't seen you tank so I can't say how good your skills are, but given the ideal situation, a tank shouldn't die unless one of a few reasons are true:
1) The tank is under geared for the instance. (You do not appear to be under geared)
2) The healer is under geared for the instance. (Is the healer geared for heroics?)
3) The DPS are woefully under geared for the instance, and cannot kill the mobs before the healer goes OOM. (Are the DPS geared for heroics?)
Now, if you can determine that everyone is geared, then the reasons change a bit:
1) The tank doesn't know how to tank
2) The healer doesn't know how to heal
3) The DPS don't know how to DPS
Finally, if you can determine that everyone knows what they are doing, there are two more reasons:
1) You need more experience / knowledge about the instance
2) !@#$ happens, sometimes you just wipe
From what you said, I'd say the reason for wiping is most likely just gear for the group as a whole, and if not that then experience in the instance. Your posted stats are easily good enough to tank a heroic without the issues you've experienced on that last boss.

You're probably tanking fine. I've had a lot of problems in Heroics when the DPS aren't geared for heroics. I put out about 1k dps while I'm tanking (more on aoe pulls when I'm in Unholy spec), and I often find people dealing less than that but trying to pug into a heroic (700 dps is not enough for a heroic). Have to kick them, because they just can't kill the anything fast enough.
