You should be fine for starting heroics, though your gear is on the low end. UK, Nexus, and VH are generally considered good places to start. Draktheron isn't particularly difficult, either, and with a good hunter Gundrak is a snoozefest.
Use your CC options and take it easy to begin with.
As failadin says, get some stamina enchants and some tanking trinkets - even BC defense trinkets would help.
Mana shouldn't be an issue, especially when you're not overgearing the instance. Blessing of Sanctuary, Seal of Vengeance, Judgement of Wisdom.

I wouldn't be comfortable healing you at 20k health. I'm fiercely going to push the idea that ONE HEROIC IS NOT ANY MORE DIFFICULT THAN ANOTHER, it's just who has to work harder. DPS tend to whine pretty badly when an instance makes them move or (youknow) do anything other than stand and DPS.
Talents that are pretty worthless for tanking --
Stoicism
Reckoning
Imp. Hammer of Justice or Imp. Devotion Aura (But not both!)
Replace as many of those Tempered Saronite pieces as you can before you step into a heroic.
Crusader's Square Pauldrons
and
Burning Skull Pendant
are both BoE options and can be found for cheap.
Use Kings unless you outgear a place, or make friends with a Ret Paladin for Kings/BoSanc and Replenishment.

Ok you should be right tanking UK, Nex, VH to begin with. With an ideal group i would also say azjol and Old Kingdom wouldn't be too bad. I would be more then happy to heal you as you are, But hey thats just me.

thats why i said ideal group pound only hits for 18k so basicly buffed he could sit on 24k np and then just have the healer winding up a HL as anub'arak winds up a pound and it will be all sweet seeing as you take 3-4 in the whole fight if dps pull their wieght.

I really really hope that is a typo and you are not planning to go into a heroic with your defense under 500.
449 is not a viable amount of defense for heroics.
If your defense is 540+ you are OK.
Once you get defense up to 540+ you need stamina stamina and more stamina.
Make that 535 and you're good to go.

540 is Raid Defence Cap
535 is Heroic Defence Cap
Anything past 540 is really just overkill, sure it adds to your overall mitigation but you need more stamina. at 24.6K health & 541 Defence I have the smallest health pool of all the tanks in my guild. Our main tank (prot pally) sits at 29.8K unbuffed. Hit defence cap (535 or 540) then stack stamina and always tank with BoS.
