Greetings everyone,
I am Nzall from Kor'Gall pvp, a lvl 80 prot paladin. Here is my armory link:
http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Kor%27gall&n=Nzall
I was wondering if someone could give me some tips on improving my gear, spec, ... I specifically want to know what stats i should be aiming for when tanking 5man heroics and 10man raids. How much hit, how much of my other stats? I can already tank decently, but i feel there is still some room for improvements. I have already tanked all Wotlk 5mans in normal mode, as wel as heroic DTK, Nexus, Oculus and VH. Some runs went smooth, others were a bit awkward.
I already have knowledge of the 96969 rotation, but i have troubles maintaining it. I don't pay enough attention to keeping things like HS up. is that a really big issue, or is HS a bit overrated?
I am looking forward to reading more improvements.

While you could get upgrades before heroics or 10 mans, the easiest way for you to upgrade at this point would probably be through OT 10 naxx or tanking easy-mid heroics.
Your stats are fine, and as for paying attention, try getting mods or... just pay more attention.
HS is a big issue as it mitigates a lot of damage and it reflects damage for threat.

thank you all for the suggestions
Switch to Austere Earthsiege instead of the one you are using.
well, the current meta gem is given to me by a guildie, but why is the austere one better?
Level up Argent Crusade rep for the head enchant
i am doing so right now, my rep is almost revered, just 2.5K left
Level up Sons of Hodir rep for the shoulder enchant (requires doing the SoH dailies every day for a few weeks).
/agree
the sons of hodir will be weaved in while doing my normal routine.
Enchant the rest of your gear. I find it odd that you are an enchanter yet several pieces of gear are not enchanted. At a minimum get some +sta kits.
Mining/Enchanting seems a strange combo as you cannot make items to disenchant. I suggest dropping enchanting and picking up blacksmithing. The additional prismatic sockets are nice.
aside from the fact that my enchanting is too low for decent enchants (WotLK, i mean), i do not think it is that profitable to pick up BS, i feel i first want to make some decent money. i am still saving for my epic flyer, so i am thinking about also picking up herbalism, for the cash i believe it gives.
I would move the 5/5 benediction into Seals of the Pure.
well, i will do so.
I would move the 2/3 from HotC and put in IHoJ. Having a stun up when you need it is nice (for skirmishers in AN, healers, casters, etc). +2% crit won't make much difference in a 5-man, and in raids a ret pally will have it. But that is just personal preference.
i just had 2 points left, that i did not know where to put. If IHoJ is that much better, i will put them there.
