Question about BC Tanking Gear

Just for fun I leveled a Prot Pally to 70 and decided to do some BC heroics. The crazy thing is, every single piece of tanking gear I'm finding in Outland is all dodge based. Is that bad for a Prot pally at that level? For the purposes of what I'm doing I don't want to grab any Wrath gear... I want to try to experience tanking this content as close as possible to the original.
Just to give you an idea, here is my character:

Oh, I just realized I logged out in my heirloom gear. That's not normally what I wear when tanking... the actual pieces I wear are dodge based as well.

BC tanking gear used to have defense as a stat. Now that defense is included in tank specs, the defense stat on gear has been converted to dodge.
That's what I thought but I wasn't 100% sure. So given that, I guess it's safe to assume that I'll be okay tanking BC heroics with all dodge gear. :)

Yeah, typically an item would have two primary and two secondary stats, but with all the changes over time with the removal of block rating/value and defense rating, alot of old stuff was merged and they didn't give it much thought adding other stuff. Agility was fairly useful back then, too, and some strength/agi items still exist, but yeah.
Not to mention Mastery being unlocked at 80.
