I'd like to point out that though shield block is very important on a paladin avoidance like dodge/parry are equally important.
You can technically get really good stats just from BOE gear. If you have boxed your team up you should have more than enough gold to get your paladin some really good gear. Especially with crusader orbs plumiting you can get a really really sexy chest piece and wrists. I don't think it is required you be in full t9, but at least before starting doing heroics take your paladin and get him some of the tanking items out of normal ToC such as the boots, belt, pants and hands. There is also a really good tanking trinket from there as well.
So if you go through BOE gear + ToC you should be able to come out with a decent set of starter gear (over 32k life, 20%ish dodge/parry, decent hit but not the best shield block)
