I have the Icebane pieces, but I went back to the tempered set for the defense.

She's taking too much damage, I can't keep up on the heals a lot of the time - I took Moorabi down again, but wiped on Eck and the friggin mana wraiths or whatever they are later on, bad pull.

I know my trinkets suck, and I need more strength, but I need that defense cap too.
This a game of inches take a look at protection_paladin_field_manual great source of information. Your gear needs a few tweeks.

Gear wise your should be looking for anything that helps build defense don't worry about Crit or Hit (as long are your at the hit cap) Parry, Dodge, Block and Stamina are your tagets to build.

You need to Glyph Divine Plea:
Quote from protection_paladin_field_manual
"Divine Plea: Since the Guarded by the Light talent allows you to keep Divine Plea active full-time as long as you're hitting something, this glyph effectively amounts to a flat 3% reduction to all incoming damage. This is probably the only glyph universally considered a "must-have" for tanking."

Also take a look at the section on starter gear this will give you some pointers on gear you can get easily.

Farm Normal ToC the gear in there is very nice, next find a few Heriocs boss you can take out for the Conquest badges you don't need the whole instance just farm a few bosses till you can gear up a little more.

Move up to Heroic ToC even if you can't clear it just farm the first two bosses, Skip the second boss if you get the women she is tough.

Like I said I was where you are just a few months ago most of the Heroics are pretty easy now after I geared up a bit http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...lakrond&n=Targ
