Good tanking weapon and shield?

I just dinged 60 and I'm wondering what tanking weapons I should be going for in the Outlands, whether they are quest rewards, rep grinds, or dungeon drops. Other warriors in my guild say I want a fast weapon to tank with because of rage generation. I currently use a
Hanzo Sword
(1.50 speed) and I've had no problems with it in Ramparts.
I'm pretty sure my next shield upgrade is the Sporregar one:
Petrified Lichen Guard
.
any thoughts?

For normal 5-mans, speed is not critical. I would recommend a medium speed, since it allows decent threat generation with devastate when you are low on rage, while still allowing some burst threat with heroic strike when you have too much rage. But really, don't look at the weapon speed first.
When it comes to weapons, here are a few to look out for:
Scimitar of the Nexus-Stalkers
- Mana Tombs
Shaarde the Lesser
- Auchenai Crypts
Terokk's Nightmace
- Sethekk halls
Crystalline Kopesh
- Nagrand group quest
And as for shields, the sporeggar shield will probably be good for you until level 70 or close to it. At level 70 there are a couple good shields in Shadow Labyrinth and Botanica.
Also at level 70, you should be grinding rep with the shattered sun offensive. They have excellent rep rewards, including a tanking weapon and shield that will be huge upgrades for you.
