i feel like you should probably add a little more detail to all these questions, and in the first you should define what role your looking to fill. Why apply as a tank when you want to dps, what is your dps gear even like
Gear looks decent, a bit behind. I understand that you are using 2 midigation trinkets, but your HP seems a bit low to be able to plug you into current HM content. Some comments on the gear- It may be a personal preference, but there is alot of theory crafting to support that defense rating is king. I think that enchanting defense to chest, cloak, and shield would help you be a bit more durable. Bis in red gem slots are agi/stam, not expertise/stam. Your expertise is a bit low, you should be using the glyph that gives 10 expertise when seal of corrution is up instead of hammer of the rightous. In a raid setting, you will rarely be tanking more than 3 adds, never in ToC. Great Job with professions. Your specc is a bit off. Look up latenight, protection, or poundcake. We all have small varations, try it out, see what works for you. Reckoning is better than what it was, but I dont think its worth 5 points. Hope some of that helps, take it for what it is. With all that being said, I am not sure we have raid spots for tanks, esppecially paladins, considering we have 2 of the best geared on the server, as well as several ret/holy paladins with very solid offsets.
Thank you for your interest in Requiem. At this time we have two main spec protection paladins. And since that is the gear and spec you applied as even with some nebulous nod towards going retribution we can only evaluate that spec.
If you do decide to apply for a third time I suggest you take more time on the application.
Latenight gave you a lot of good feedback on your spec and gear, start there if you are dedicated to being a 25 man main tank.
Good luck in your guild search.
