I have to second this. I only started tanking regularly in Cata after being too scared or feeling overwhelmed the one or two times I tried it previously. Now I'm main tanking in raids!
Tidy Plates / Threat Plates makes it easy mode to see what you have aggro on and what you don't. This is the single most important thing to stay on top of as a tank and it's easy with this addon.
The rest of it is just knowing your class. Interrupts, Taunts, AOE moves, what your highest thread attacks are etc. and the best way to learn is by doing and a little bit of research on the Internet. If you're are 85, get your ilvl up to 329 or so and tank REGULARS first. There will be plenty of room for error and you'll get to learn your rotation / priorities in a fairly stress free way.
