Another tips to be newbie tanks. Enchant your gear, no matter your level.
The general attitude to enchanting seems to be "End Game Only", but enchanting as much of your gear as you can afford to can be the difference between a wipe and a close shave.
This also helps in situations described above, when you as a tank have just hit the barrier of entry for a LFD. Enchanted gear, can stretch a lot further than hoping for a drop in dungeon where you're taking a lot of hurting.

Another sneaky tip while leveling up, before levels 40, 60, 70 do some BGs.
The Honour armour is pretty decent and you'll learn a lot about surviving and using your cooldowns in BGs.
Take this armour set for Pallys for instance: http://www.wowhead.com/itemset=698
3 pieces reduces the cooldown on your hammer of justice by 10 seconds. Thats pretty dam decent perk to get you through outlands.
