Kindread, you are on my server so here is what I will do.

Send me a tell, my name is Kayle Naxos. If I am on I will make you some gear for your level and if you like answer any more specific questions that the wonderful post above me may not have covered.

It should help, I've been tanking in this game for almost 3 years now in every piece of content available from the lowest dungeon to the highest level raids.
