This is pretty much true. There's some talents in the Prot tree that will allow you to mitigate the damage you would take from worthwhile Bosses.

Holy Shield, Imp Righteous Fury, Redoubt, Toughness, Anticipation are just a few talents Tankadins need to help mitigate damage and generate Hate.

That Epic tank gear may provide some good defense, but without Holy Shield, you'll remain very crushable by decent Boss's.
