My bro's 70 Prot. Pally in "decent" tanking gear w/ the epic Lionheart blacksmithing sword (tier 1) pumps out some decent DPS tanknig with a 2 hander (windfury totems down).
Explain to me the tanking mechanics of a Pally with a 2h.

No shield.
He's still wearing plate, and can still taunt. Thats enough a lot of the time. We only do that for trash pulls thought (as some super simple tank n spank bosses). He's got a one hander and sheild on standby the moment he needs it.

On a related note, I finally got him to dual box! woooo! (he's had two accounts forever). He's playing a warrior/shaman combo right now (below level 20) having a blast.
I'd still argue having a reflective sword and board set is more damage than a prot spec in ret gear. Get a bunch of high block rating gear and go nuts with holy shield and the lichen shield poison.
