Sub-Par Tank Gear

Hmm I'm still have problems with my tanking gear and I still feel a little sub par as a tank. I'm not sure if its because i dps more and tank less or if its just me.
The problem I was having is keeping the ret pally from Toc10 off the rest of the group and on me. I Finally was able to do it after our 3rd try and I had to use my stun seal just to keep him on me. I have only tanked it a few times so I'm not sure if the don't have a aggro table or not. Or if it was because of some random person aggroing them from me. Any advice would be helpful.

Not sure if the link will work right but Wow-head has me in 6 digits for a que placement for my armory to refresh.

Ok there is a better link there now. I was having problems holding aggro on him even spaming my taunt because of my hit being low. They were missing everyother one or so. I have looked for tanking gear with hit but that doesn't seem to be found that often or it doesn't drop for me that often.

You have 2 taunts buddy. If BOTH missed that is a mathematical improbability. Careful when you do your aoe taunt...I pulled half the faction champs once. I screamed like a girl and ran.

I had both taunts miss 5 times in a row on 25 man Toravon a couple of days ago... now THAT's mathematical improbability.
EDIT: BTW, I lawl'd at the visual! Come on man! You're a prot pally, the more on your ass, the merrier!
but but...enh shaman...dk...mage...and warlock ran at me...

Every time I've done it the tanks all swapped to DPS specs, and we ran it with no tanks.

Either you:
A. Over geared the place.
B. Didn't know tanks actually help
C. Liked watching your clothies die

D. Prepared for the hc version, where taunting is useless.
Not to mention there's the small matter of how the Faction Champs actually chose their targets, where low armor is apparently a factor.

There are better ways to keep the champs off of clothies than to use a tank spec and taunt them.
And the extra DPS to burn down some of the wost champions is worth the less defensive stats on a good arms war/ret paladin, imo.
Ret's can still taunt when they are able, and CC plays a much larger factor than tanking, imo.
I guess everyone does it differently.
