I can tell you that 5 HP started at patch 5.04 thats something new.
I haven't tanked but Might want to, to get a fill for the changes. I have talked with alot of the more known Prot. Pallys on my server and so far there is no negative comments about the changes so thats good.
There are serveral people not happy with Bear and Warrior tanking so we might have gotten the better end of the stick.

I'm still levelling my Tankadin, but I have to say, it's a lot more fun than the other tank classes I have started before. This may be perhaps due to levelling with some friends in a new guild we formed, though I do feel the mechanics of prot tanking are what makes it fun. My friend who is levelling a priest healer with me really enjoys the new power Word of Glory can have, and the AoE filled rotation I seem to use is making life a lot easier on my hunter friend too. I think that is why it is more fun, for the most part, I find my tankadin can take pressure of healers and dps, which means more relaxed and fun instancing :) Of course a lot of this is basic stuff rather than new 5.0.x dealys, but nontheless, they have indeed helped the fun of it all :)

Loving it so far. Only really doing heroics right now, so it's all about add control and boss movement really.
Love my DnD Consecration too. That coupled with
Light's Hammer
and add pick up becomes a breeze.
With
Sacred Shield
and Word of Glory and Seal of Insight, I can sustain myself for a really long time.
Stil trying to figure out what to combine/macro together, too many defensive CDs and Hand spells to keep track of imo.
Mana is a joke, I've never even been close to running out unless I have to spam Flash of Light on myself. And chances are that if you are doing that, the outlook is bad already.
Only thing I'm really frustrated with is the lack of a focused tanking weapon. But after the findings on +hit and +exp being stats to stack, it makes more sense.

And even some crit gear is superior to parry/dodge gear (crit is a good dps stat for prot pallies as well, ad it can be reforged to H/E/h/m

I just love the implementation of active mitigation.
