The build you linked is exactly what I'm running at level 80. I can not think of 7 talents I would like to drop in order to pick up impale. It seems to me that one would want to pick up impale for threat, but I'd say that with Cruelty and Imp Revenge (two likely candidates to be dropped in order to get impale) you won't have any threat problems.
I have a feeling that 5/8/58 will be the standard build.

This
is how you can get
impale
, you drop
Armored to the Teeth
(which I love),
Puncture
, and
Imp Spell Reflect
. I personally am going to be rolling with the
5/8/58
deep protection spec because it is just too good to mess with but I can see why some people might want to jump on the extra crit damage.

....why 3/3 Iron Will over 3/3 Heroic Strike?
Yeah I just threw them there, I play on a PVP server, kind of always thinking about getting jumped. Not to mention the
Glyph of Revenge
making the
3/3 Heroic Strike
feeling useless at times.

I would go for
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=LAM00bZhLZVItMx0zidIzsGo
or
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=LAM00bZhLZVItrx00ibIzsGo
if you don't like Concussion Blow and Vigilance and want the Imp. Revenge. And Puncture now days sadly feels kinda worthless.
My 2 cents. Might not have helped, but just do what I do, try some different speccs and stick with the one that fits your playstyle. :)

The only way to get impale is if you sacrafice
Anticipation
or
Cruelty
. Yes Cruelty adds crit %, but so do other talents. Talents such as
Incite
,
Critical Block
, and
Sword and Board
add to crit % as well. When your main Defensive stance abilities already have around 25% crit chance, do you REALLY need that extra 5% for 5 talent points?
It comes down to this:
30% crit or 25% crit + 20% extra damage from those crits?
This spec
is a way you can get Impale into your prot build.

In my opinion,
cruelty
isn't that great either. It increases your chonce to get a critical strike with melee weapons, which means that it wont affect
Thunder Clap
,
Shockwave
,
Shield Slam
etc. That makes it a less wanted talent nowadays.
Should be
Devistate
instead of
Shockwave
.

And that talent build is exactly what I'm aiming for at the moment. :)
Cruelty affects any ability that requires a melee weapon or shield as I understand it. This includes Shield Slam, Devastate, Concussion Blow and Shield Dammage.
Point for point Impale is better than AttT which is better than Cruelty. The question is whether it's worth it to spend points 6-to-10 in arms to reach the 2 in impale.
