That I am leveling my first pally ever...I have leveled 2 hunters, an enhancement shaman, and a feral druid to 80.
OH MY GOD.
1) It's awesome. I thought BM hunters were a good solo class? Well, they are, but I didn't complete each leg of the stv mastery quests in a single pull on either of my hunters. I have on my pally.
2) It's FUN! I have enjoyed tanking somewhat before, on a warrior, druid, and dk. But my pally far outstrips all of them. Making massive pulls, doing 70% of my groups damage (idc if it's aoe or not, damage is damage), and the entire time watching my health and mana bars go UP. Oh, and outhealing my healer through Seal of Light and Judgement of Light.
3) The best part by far is knowing how much faster a tank can gear up than a dps toon at 80. My feral druid was a pvper at 80, and obviously my hunters and enh shaman were dpsers. I'm sure I will end up running the same heroic over and over for a specific piece of gear and end up cursing the game at some point. But there is no denying that my pally will gear up exceptionally quickly compared to a a dpser.
Yeah, I just wanted to get that out. I will definitely be frequenting the pally forums more often now =)

Ok, thanks for the tips. I'll keep that in mind.
Mana is tough on small pulls, but when I do massive pulls and keep up holy shield with sanc, I have more mana than I know what to do with lol.

I'd have to agree. I just recently picked up all the heirloom items to level a Paladin. I've found myself completely neglecting my other 80s all together to level him. My wife is doing the same with a Priest, so we queue as Tank/Heals and get instant queues. Tanking on a Paladin is a blast, and so much more fun than my Warrior ever was. Glad i'm not the only one who's completely enjoying leveling up this class.
Yup =)
I have the BoA shoulders (WG), chest, and sword (emblem). I didn't have the emblems to get the trinkets, but since I'm leveling as a prot pally I have less need of them than a non-healing class or a strictly mana-dependent class would.
My hunter is essentially retired for the moment, all I use him for is to farm gold. I just bought the tome of cold weather flying for my pally so when I hit 68 I can get airborne right away =)
Oh, and did I mention its a blast going into bgs and letting rogues plink away at me while I roflstomp all over them? I was in the 39 bracket yesterday (at level 39), when a 37 rogue opens on me with the customary CS, etc etc. A level 30 balance druid and a 32 hunter joined in on the slaughter...too bad they didnt realize it was going to be their own *evil grin*
The short version is that I was pushing 4k health with all my buffs, and lived through the entire stunlock, bubbled & healed, got a crusader proc and 2-shotted the druid, 3 shotted the hunter, and let the rogue tickle me some more before I put her out of her misery.
Of all the classes, a prot pally sure does make me feel invincible more than any other.

Inorite? I regularly jump into some random bg's so I can have the honor to buy raw gems. I wear my PvE tanking gear and swap a trink for a battlemaster's trink. I love being in PvE gear and rofl-stomping 4-5 people before dying... and if there's a heals around it gets even better.
I <3 my pally.

You'd have to grind 15 levels first, I'd just do the quests till then as you might want quest achievements later or, most likely, rep.
Could just grind the first 15 lvl's =P
