We are currently gearing up a new paladin tank. He's walking into a group that already farms kara so thats were the majority of his upgrades will be available from.

I'm not an expert on Paladin tanking by any means but I expect that they'd gear their first set similar to a warrior. Get uncrushable (he's already there) then stack EH until you are at a comfortable level for all of Kara then add spell damage gear to raise threat for our dps to go to town.

1. Uncrushable
2. Uncrittable
3. Spell damage above 150 minimum (easiest thing to do)
4. STACK STAMINA

If I saw his armory I could tell you exactly what he should work on but the above 4 are what I shot for. A good portion of his gear should come from badges such as the stoic chestguard, unwavering legs, and the boots. Even the cloaks there are good.

If you're uncrushable, you're uncrittable. It kinda goes hand-in-hand. (Mostly because you need more than 490 Defense to become uncrushable as a paladin, but also because Holy Shield also pushes crits off the table.)

I'd shoot for 200 SD buffed for Karazhan, btw. That's [item]Crystalforged Sword[/item]/[item]Continuum Blade[/item] with +40 spelldamage, and a [item]Superior Wizard Oil[/item].
