If you aren't interested in being MT in raids at all, you don't really need to get uncrushable, since only mobs 3+ levels above you can crush (meaning only raid bosses once you are level 70). Granted, being uncrushable does have the nice side affect of all hits to you are mitigated to some extent (all attacks are either dodged, parried, missed, or blocked (where you take partial damage)).

When starting out as a tankadin, your first priority should be to hit 490 (485 for 5 mans) defense to be uncrittable. That will greatly decrease your damage intake. Once you hit that, you should work on your stamina (more health is good) and your avoidance (to get uncrushable).

Finally, if you want to learn more about paladin tanking, be sure to check out the Maintankadin forums (http://www.failsafedesign.com/maintankadin) - lots of tankadins hang out there, some even tanking in BT/Hyajl.
