In Raids however, you're dealing with pulls of 7-12 trash mobs with high health, and Cleave/TC/Shockwave/Tab Targeting isn't enough to hold threat on all of them from AoE DPS. Prot Warriors are still very much relegated to Boss Tanking in Raids.
What pulls of 7-12? The Small Spider and Warlock packs in Spider Wing, or the Bats in Plague? Those are AoE packs where the mobs have little health. As long as all of your DPSers start AoEing together, your TC and Shockwave should be enough to hold them until they are dead. Even if you don't hold them all until the very end, they don't hit hard and will be dead before they can kill your DPSers that pull.
Ulduar? The big packs are at XT, Freya, and Vezax. You use Multiple tanks and CC (for Freya and Vezax anyway); you aren't expected to hold all 8 elites on one tank.

You don't need to hold all mobs of a pack. Casters cann't really kill someone, while melee mobs may crit for 15000.

Actually some casters can. Example, the
Ahn'kahar Spell Flingers
in Old Kingdom. But those you can just spell reflect if you time it right.
