My level 57 paladin is currently wearing 2 pieces of Lightforge (BoE blues saved from pre-BC FTW) and 6/7 Imperial Plate with a thorium shield spike.
She's currently specced prot and is an AoEing armoured porcupine.
I am absolutely loving it.
I will kind of miss it when I get to the Outlands, though...
Going to start picking up healing gear and respec healadin when I get a decent set, I think.
Yeah, I know...there's no +def on the gear.
