20-25k HP seam a good start
on low end gear dont put too expensive enchant, but i recommand heavy borean leather patch. all the +18 stam will help alot
but dont worry at other ppl.
I saw last day some ppl complaining about a tank that had only 23k HP in heroic nexus. a DK. 2 ppl just leaved as soon as they saw it. I was the healer on my shaman and i play from a long time (vanilla). I remember that in november last year, Heroic were made to gear you, not to farm emblem. I healed him without too much difficulties. (just enough to keep me awake) and we cleared all the instance without a wipe
just make sure you do a good job at keeping mobs on you. The healer will have to do the rest.
at 25-28k you will be able to go in any heroics. but i recommend that as soon as you get what you want in ToC to go directly to the normal icecrown. they are easier than heroics and it give better gear.

Try to avoid HoR at 25k HP though, you'll get clubbed.
@Punkenjov you're right, heroic is to gear you up, but when I see people joining and having so bad gear it's obvious they just want to be carried by the other 4 geared player, I just usually leave. I didnt start tanking heroic until I had 30k HP personnaly (buffed), and I went as DPS until I had enough gear to do so.

my god. where has the good old players gone?
remember back in the start of wotlk when i started tanking naxx 10 with a massive 23k fully buffed hp.. and we cleared it aswell without me ever seeing 30k. . .
and i usualy did most heroics aswell with that hp.. nowaydays you need 30k hp buffed to even get intio a heroic? sure.. HoR and those i can get but cmon :/

i don't recommend this. Sure ppl will leave, but dps isn't hard to find anyway. You will gear your tank a lot faster if you queue as a tank than as a DPS.
if you craft some stuff, craft the bracer and the chest with crusader orb. Gem it with 30 stam and you will have a *!@# load of stamina and your HP will raise realy fast
for HoR normal, its easy even a 25k hp.

This, the crafted stuff from ToC is amazing. I'm grinding out my last few orbs tonight to get the chest made. Trollwoven gear isn't bad for starting tanking either.

I agree with most of this except for the "25-28k for any heroics" if a tank came into H HoR with 25-28k he would get a quick lesson in wiping with that hp lol
when they say any heroics, its mean any of the ilvl 200 heroics.
ICC heroics are 2 tier over, they are a lot more hard.
but if you manage to do it with an undergeared tank, its still doable. but you will need a lot of CC and a very good healer. The brute force way will not work
most of the time, skilled player can do stuff with undergeared toon...
there is player that will get hard time to kill Yogg saron +4 keeper in ilvl 245 + stuff.
there is some ppl that made it with ilvl 232 or less without any keeper.
