I posted the plate quest / instance / crafted items I'm going for while leveling [url='http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=16587
here[/url].

Personally I'm staying prot on my pally and already have all the tempered saronite pieces ready to go, filling in other slots with quests atm. While the quest dps gear could be used to tank, I find it to be much smoother if I have the correct amount of defense to be uncrittable at each level as I go.
^^^This.. I have all my gear waiting. with sockets added..enchants and all 8)

Also my mana pool goes down with each upgrade. I gain a shit load of stam and def and lose lots of spell power and int(mana) but I am NEVER oom. With sanc/jow/4xmana totems I hardly ever sit and drink.
