Hi
I made some builds for a paladin tank, i want you to take a look at them and comment
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sxZEMxIx0dMMqxV0x
this is my first try, i focused on decreasing dmg mostly, i dont think build is very good for raiding tho.

this is my second try, i fixed some stuff but ive been told that i wont generate enough threat with it.
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=sZV0xIg0dMgqxVbx0h
this is my latest try, i had a dilma between Reckoning and One-Handed Weapon Specialization so i took the specialization but i can change it to the reckoning.
After you'll comment on these build then ill have more info and mostly likely will make the nearly perfect build for a paladin tank.

all of the builds are missing a key element: avenger's shield
that's 1-2k of threak lead per pull, too sad not to have it

alright this build seems fine
but what buff should i use when raiding, when im the only paladin in the group that is.
Blessing of kings or Blessing of sanctuary?

You guys keep talking about how avengers shield is good for building initial threat. What about reckoning, when that procs your dps wont be able to pull aggro even if they tried.

I bolded the key words in that above statement.
What you say is true; it
is
nigh-on impossible to pull aggro against a pally that has Reckoning burning.
The problem is that you have to take damage in order for Reckoning to proc. In order to tank successfully, your goal is to not take damage - ever, if possible. Additionally, as others have stated, Reckoning is a random proc; if you're relying on a random proc to keep your clothies from pulling aggro and going squish, then good luck with that.

It's been proven wrong before, Crit-happy hunter pulls aggro even with reckoning procs, go figure...

This is a probably the best MT/OT paladin build out there now since 2.3 came out.
MT, maybe, if you're still short on uncrushable (early to mid kara)
OT....
Reckoning will proc next to almost never
