I know you say you read the warrior stickies but I think you should go back and read them again since you still don't understand how crushing blows work or what you need to enter Karazhan, both of which are covered in the stickies (hint: you need to be uncrushable).
You might also want to look at

When pulling multiple mobs you should mark the primary kill target. If a dps class pulls some other target from you then it is their fault for hitting the wrong target, if they pull the primary kill target off of you then it is probably also their fault for hitting too hard or too soon unless you have serious issues generating threat. If mobs are breaking off you to hit healers then it is almost certainly your fault for not generating enough threat. With practice you should also become much faster at pickup up a second target without totally stopping generating threat on the first.

Moonkins are the new Damage Meter !@#$%s. All of them seem to not want to wait for you to build up aggro and just go all out as soon as you pull. Believe me 90% of the time, right after a pull, it's not your fault.
The 3 items you linked are all the same link, so I'm not sure what you're talking about except the waist. The bare minimum defense you need is 490 for Kara. What this does is makes you uncrushable (do not confuse uncrushable with uncrittable) to bosses that are 3 levels higher than you (for all intents and purposes, a level 70 boss is level 73).
Your HP/Armour should be about 12k-13k apiece and the other stats don't really matter too much at that point, but you will be fine to offtank the entirety of Kara and you might be able to main tank the first half of Kara (up to the Curator).
Hope this helps a bit. Some of the information might be a bit out of date, but this is what I remember from when I was researching starting tanking.

btw my question is still unanswered :P
should i keep Shield block up
?
thx for the info, will come back tmr since its 6am O.o hope i see more responses
ALWAYS KEEP SHIELD BLOCK UP....always...always...always...
Only against mobs that are level 73 or level ? (raid bosses). In 5-man instances, it can be a waste of rage to use shield block.
