That's too bad, most of the prot paladins I know are pretty open about their OP-ness. For example, our primary offtank (Flynn) passes on everything and wears tons of gear that is sub-optimal from a survivability standpoint, but it doesn't matter because he is probably the best overall WoW player I know and because his class is inherently rather broken atm. He often uses outdated block value gear with strength gems, dps trinkets and an agility DPS axe mainhand and it doesn't matter because he never dies while putting out a surprising amount of DPS (the fact that he mixes tier 9 and tier 10 setpiece bonuses also contributes here). For example, I don't even bother using tranq poisons during the 10 man LK encounter when he tanks the big adds because Flynn can just mitigate away an Enraged shockwave and even if two adds enrage on him he'll just stun one of them anyway. Tankspot says those guys are supposed to be able to nearly one shot people, but apparently Flynn never got the memo.

Flyn is a mage name. Silly paladin.
The dude is someone I know in meatlife, he knows his class is OP but plays the class like he is still doing Ulduar, un-hitcapped, low dodge/block/parry, low armour and is a moron in raids.
Who would you rather have tanking?

Also with this patch I can honestly say...
FUCK ROGUES FUCK SHADOWPRIESTS FUCK HUNTERS FUCK OTHER WARRIORS.
Rogue/Shadowpriest will already beat any warrior comp in 2's and hunters kite like all the time with minimal effort. Why make counter comps counter even harder?
All these classes have at least 1 way already to negate a bladestorm, evasion/turn into a cloud/spinny pointy things round the hunter where you need to /cancelaura bladestorm then overpower spam the shit out of them because they keep dodging.
TSG will die.

Ha, the funniest part is that his gear setup is like, the exact opposite of Flynn's gear style. Flynn is a hardcore avoidance and mitigation tank. He's got stuff in his bags for fights that favor raw health, but as long as he doesn't need to worry about going down in a GCD he stacks avoidance and relies on stacking as much armor as he can for his survivability.
clockworkjames:
That's the thing, that was Kuru's reputation of stacking avoidance and mitigation. I do this along with staying hit and expertise (soft)capped but still have an asston of EH. Having a blockset or unhittable set is useless in ICC now anyways :( I just got unhittable at the end of TotGC too.
Alex C:
Well, actually, he doesn't run with a single piece of block rating gear, so it's not like he's crazy enough to be using the Anub set for everything. He just has passed on several pieces of gear in favor of using things like the tier 9 helm and legs since they're a couple of weird pieces that happen to give block value with no block rating. So those two pieces alone net him 480 shield block value, 5% increased Hammer of the Righteous damage and nearly a third of his hit rating (he's a draenei so he can always factor the aura in. Besides, what kind of idiot wouldn't give the tank a draenei if they needed it?). If you're going to make a concession to threat and damage in your gear, that's a pretty decent place to do it. Plus, it was a bit disingenuous of me to say that he passes on everything considering that he was rolling in 258 gear even when we first entered ICC. He kinda takes the attitude that he outgears all current content short of 25 man heroic, and since I can't remember him ever causing a wipe, it's rather hard to argue the point.
