I play a Prot pally on EU Aszune and I've not been 70 long (about a month) and I can't understand why all you guys seem to pick one-handed weapon specialization. I'm sure you can find another place to stack those valuable 5 points.
For me being a pally tank is all about getting aggro and keeping it, and as far as I know a pally gets his aggro from holy dmg and not white dmg. I currently have the crystalforged sword (with +40 spelldmg ofc) and I hit for about 100-150 white dmg per strike, the one handed weapon spec would give me about 5-10 points of extra dmg per strike, to me that is negligible.

You aren't reading the tooltip correctly. It's 5% damage increase while having a one hander equipped. It applies to all abilities.

@Nil

1 handed weapon specialisation gives you a 5% increase to all damage, hence a 5% threat increase.

One-hand Specialization increases EVERY bit of your damage by 5% if you wield a 1h weapon. Which means: Avenger's Shield, Judgement of Righteousness, Holy Shield.
The white damage increase is negligible, but the holy damage increase is quite something. Your +250 Holy Damage bonus becomes say 270.
