Rage issues

Greets, after tanking ToC10 last night, I noticed my HP kept dropping really low. One of the healers said that I was taking too much damage and was difficult to heal. The disc priest swapped healing assignments and started healing me for the rest of the encounter, but then I was becoming severely rage starved. I've read that should never happen but often I drop to 10-30 rage and have to wait a few seconds to get more rage. Is this due to bad tank / healer synergy? or something else?

Noticed your dodge is a tad low, this may be due to you gemming pretty much straight stamina.Disregard this statement, it is false. Your gear is very good for tanking ToC 10. If I assume correctly, you have about 38% dodge self buffed, which is a good number.
The fact that you have Tailoring as profession puts you at a slight disadvantage. You are missing ~60 possible stamina.
Use the three glyphs mentioned by Sanei, use Barkskin often. It provides valuable damage reduction.
The fact that you were getting very low on HP is not anything to be concerned about. This is the way current raid content works. High damage spikes. If anything, more health should help you. Most likely it was your first healer that sucked. The problem with rage ... I can't put my finger on it but I can surely say it was not the Power Word Shield's fault. These shields have been redesigned by Blizzard some time ago to allow normal rage generation through damage absorption effects.
I suppose it was just a coincidence, bad luck... the likes.
Don't sweat over this.

Thanks for the reply Aa, I thought the rage issue strange and just wanted to see if anyone else had any input on it. My mainspec is healing so I haven't had much chance to tank later content. I guess it could be bad luck, but it happened in a few of the raids I've tanked lately.
I feel I should clarify though, my health was only constantly low with the first healer, not the second. However they had no trouble healing the OT, so I guess it could have just been alot of bad RNG at the end of the day :(
