I have a 70 pally tank (Alibi of Anetheron US), and the guide is pretty much right on. I am currently tanking all level 70 instances (have been tanking instances since lvl 68), and have tanked Heroic instances also (Ramparts, Slave Pens, Mechinar). The only real problem I've encountered is that though Seal of the Crusader is useful, it really cuts down on your threat generation initially, seeing as a great deal of threat is generated by judging Righteousness on your target, instead of judging Crusader and then waiting for the cooldown to judge Righteousness. The other issue I have just has to do with gear for pally tanking. This is probably more of a complaint of drop rates, as I've run Steamvaults so many times but have not seen, the Devilshark Cape or the Righteous Breastplate. Same with my frustration of the Righteous Shoulders in Botannica. None the less, it's a blast and I really enjoy tanking, but if you're looking to have any more utility than just tanking an instance without respecing, good luck.
