Other stuff

Now I heard you needed a tank, and I wanted to try my luck, and here I am, applying to you. Not a really impressive reason, though it's allways something.

some of your gems are fucked up oO +16 crit rating in the tanking jc trinket? woot?

and your talent is also weird.. 5/5 reckoning (which could been spent in better use) :/ and i thought every prot paly knew u dont put 2p (just 1) in the improved judgement cuz it fucks up 9/6/9/6... rotation..
and why pursuit of justice..? OO all this might just be cuz u "test" something out atm.. what do i know ^^

other than that, you lack kind of lot wotlk experience, and u are pretty vague of what uÂ´ve done in vanilla and such..

Let me explain a little bit:
That gem is of course not supposed to be there, I just threw something in to fill that spot up, I do want a +41 stamina in that socket, and every other yellow socket I got. Otherwise I would have to use a +16 defence to have any use for that spot as my jewelcrafting looks at the moment. I got the minimum defence required for raids and heroics, so why would I want to throw in more? I have better use for some critical strikes to raise my threat.
Now to the reckoning talent. 2 hits in one attack is great if you think about it. With Judgement of Wisdom/Light up, this will give me twice as much mana/hp for 8 seconds as I would otherwise gain. With three mobs on me, Reckoning procs almost every time it goes down, or at least within the next 2-3 seconds. And with the low mana protection paladins get from gear, this is very useable. It also raises my threat, not just by the double hits, I can also mash my spells without to worry about getting out of mana.
I dont use the 9/6/9/6 rotation, I wouldn't have use for some specific spells and items in that case when we're talking about TPS. My rotation is following:
1. Avenger's Shield
(If undead, I also use Exorcism here)
2. Holy Shield and Sacred Shield (doesn't trigger global cooldown, low mana cost, uses it every forth rotation)
3. Judgement of Wisdom (triggers my Libram of Obstruction, increasing shield block value by 352 for 6 seconds)
4. Consecration
5. Shield of the Rightouess (with the +352 shield block value, It usually hits for about 2500+, crits for about 6000+)
(if undead, I also use Holy Wrath here)
6. Hammer of Rightouess
7. Repeat, or using trinkets, Hammer of Wrath, Avenging Wrath or Hand of Reckoning if needed.
Using this rotation, I gain the most beneficials from spells, trinkets and my libram as possible. With my current gear I do about 1200-1400 DPS, which is enough to hold aggro, except when people burst out as much dps as they possibly can, or using their own threat spells, which happens a lot when there are DK's and/or warriors in my group. Has happened that paladins have used Hand of Reckoning, for some reason, or having Rightouess Fury up (with specc it reduces damage taken by 6%).

Regarding my experience in Vanilla, it doesn't matter at all. I played mage at that time, and that was three years ago. I don't remember anything, and what ever I DO remember, I don't have any use for now while tanking.
And Pursuit of Justice; It reduces the duration of all disarm effect by 50%, and increases my movement speed by 15%, which can be useful in some specific fights. Together with my Titanium Weapon Chain, I should be immune to disarm effects, haven't tried it out yet, though it's been a long time since I actully did get disarmed.

I guess I explained everything you asked for

if you are thrown in a fight where adds are coming from 4 corners and there is two big mobs doing aoe attacks and huge breaths that you need to dodge how well do you think you could cope with the situation?!
oh and you need to tank the adds that are spawning from the corners.

Out of range
