The major chunk of that spell damage comes from the weapon, and it's rare to have a +defense + spell damage in the 60s.
I remember when I hit Outlands, my tanking weapon was still a level 30-40 Assassin Blade with Fiery Enchant.
My first spell damage upgrade was a sword drop from Ramparts.
And that sword did not get replaced until I got faction from Keepers of Time.

Nowadays, by 70 you can buy a spell damage blue weapon off the AH, or get S2 Gavel, or from SSO.
OK, so if I'm understanding this right you wear warrior tanking plate and use a caster weapon? So the dps on it seems to be irrelevant, but does the speed matter?
