Hey there,
I am currently playing my new pally. And I'm currently stuck between choosing specs. I am interested in Tanking-though a bit nervous- and was wondering would tanking spec be fast for lvling or should I go for Ret. Also what are some good advice for a nooby in pally tanking. Thanks for your time and replies!

Prot can still stuff as fast as, if not faster, than ret. At low levels, at least.
For a noob at pally tanking:
Don't forget righteous fury
Make sure to watch the party portraits to watch for aggro.
Switch targets to keep up aggro, until you get AoEs.
Make sure to use your taunts when you're losing threat.
When you start getting higher:
Make sure to know who to kill first.
Make sure the DPS are attacking the same target as you.
Don't go purely for stamina.
Use your AoE's effectively.
Don't stand in #$%^ that kills you.

the LFD tool is great for leveling as a tank. Your queues are pretty much instant. Although before you jump into a dungeon make sure you know how to do your rotations. Most lower dungeons you'll be aoe tanking every pull aside from the boss so make sure you know how to do sufficient aoe threat. Just dropping consecrate and then hitting holy wrath isn't gonna cut it. learn your rotations and then jump in so you don't have 5 mobs running in every direction.
