1h spec for prot paladin is an essential talent.

Read the tool-tip closer. It doesn't do what you think it does. It is an absolutely essential talent for a prot paladin.

I don't mind the rest of what you said, though for a multibox group imp.crusader doesn't seem as useful as BoK and spell warding, but I can see the argument.

As for the OP, here's my suggestion on prot pally builds:
Lose Reckoning (+5 pts).
Remove all points from Holy tree (+7 pts).
Put 5 into benediction
Put 5 into deflection

Deflection is a must-have for prot pallys, as well. You don't really need to heal yourself to hold agro once you get consecration.

Reckoning is a decent talent but it's awkward and random and the points are better spent elsewhere (like ardent defender, deflection, and 1h weapon-spec). It's much better for a solo'er than a multiboxer.

The last 2 points you can spend in a bunch of places. Imp. judgement is where I'd put it.

My talents, at 52: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-t...theridon&n=Eta
I'll work towards deflection, then ardent defender, then precision/imp-judgement
