As an Upcoming Paladin I have A Few Questions

I've done the role of a healer, I've done the DPS, so now I'm rolling with the tank and so far I'm enjoying it. It's a nice change from the usual "OMG BURST DAMAGE KILL IT KILL IT BEFORE WE WIPE" or the whole "I CANT HEAL YOU THROUGH THAT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING STANDING IN AOE THAT I CAN HEAL YOU THROUGH??" so for me its a nice change of pace. Just a few questions about the Pally I'm interested in finding out.

What stat allocation is the best? Ive hear dump it into VIT, but i see the level 50 gear is full of VIT. Some say DEX is best for parry and blocking rate, and a few say that strength but others counter that its negligible damage to bring up the stat.

I'm trying to get it as best as possible so any help guys? Please give reason for the stat allocation too if you would :)

I went 20 VIT 10 STR, VIT to give me a bit more HP and STR because heavy armour is heavy, and I'm tiny.

You'll get much better responses on the tanking thread.

All VIT. You will need the extra HP, and the more HP you have the larger HP regens per tick.
