Oh, and in relation to this thread, the benefit of having a pally tank with shamans during the leveling phase is that agi/str/windfury totem help "fill the gear gaps" you find with leveling/undergeared prot paladins. Because prot pallies need to spend itemization on +spelldamage (which often wastes itemization points on int as well, damn them), they are more "squishy" than a warrior tank. Agi adds more dodge, Str more block, WF more threat (reck+WF is madness).

Of course, a warrior would mitigate even more with this buffs, and in fact, warriors work perfectly well in combination with shammies.
