Personally, I really enjoy my pally being prot out in the world. Collect 60 buzzard wings? Pshht, no sweat, I'll just kill them all at once! Kill voidwalkers until you get 200 shards? Cakewalk!

Just set my team up in a nice clear space, mount up, gather mobs till they dismount me, consecrate every so often while I gather up enough so that I can't see anymore and head back to my waiting AOE spam {consecrate/hurricane/rain of fire/fire totems and chain lightning for the win. And lets not forget thorns and ret aura }. I think my current team finished all the gathering quests in Hellfire faster than any of my singles did due to the massive amounts of slaughter I can inflict by tanking half the zone, heh.
