Please let me know if my Talents bite? :)Follow

link is broken or my comp but it only shows where you pick wich class you wanna make a tallent tree for.

Not too bad of a build :)..(but kinda close to the "cookie-cutter") :P

Only thing I would change is to drop 2/2 Guardian's Favor and pick up 2/2 Imp. Judgements.
Judgement is a nice burst of aggro, and easily pulls a mob back onto you if you see one start to run off. More judgements = more aggro :).
(There is an issue of Imp. Judgement getting wasted, on a normal rotation of consecration, holy shield, and judgement/seal..while tanking the same mob for a while..where in order to keep holy shield up..you have to wait a few seconds to judge, otherwise global cooldown from judging leaves you without holy shield for a brief bit, and the points to improve it by 2 seconds are "wasted") But, for every other time when you are tanking more than one mob, pulling mobs one after another, or need extra burst aggro on something, the judgement being ready and not on cooldown can save ya :P

I do use blessing of protection and blessing of freedom once in a while, but I barely ever say to myself "darn, I wish that wasn't on cooldown"..the way, even WITH Imp. Judgement, I say "WTB judge" and have to throw an avenger's shield or hammer of justice on the mob, to get aggro back, or give me time to judge :P

P.S. Reckoning is great, but once you up your avoidance to a nice level, it stops proc'ing as much, and becomes less and less useful (with more avoidance). If you really like the talent you can keep it untill the end...but when you dodge and parry and avoid say ~50% of the damage that is thrown at you, reckoning only is able to proc on the rest ~50% of the damage that you do take, 10% of the time. (Which is a lot less useful than when you take ~70% of the damage, due to low complete avoidance aka. dodge, parry, (and being missed, which is upped by defense))

Hmm, ok well Imp. Devotion Aura is usually a no-no...Here's why.

Devotion Aura (Rank 8) gives 861 armor. 5/5 Improved Devotion Aura (with Rank 8) gives 1205 Armor. Having 5/5 talent points in Improved Devotion Aura only gives you 344.4 extra armor (only when using that aura) ...At 70, as prot you will have anywhere from 15k armor up. 344.4 armor is not really that big of a portion to be adding to that ~15k or more to be worth 5 whole talent points.

I'd switch out 5/5 Imp. Devo. Aura and add that to 5/5 One-handed Weap, Spec [Increases all damage you deal when a one-hand weapon is equipped] (....5% damage might seem like "just a little bit", but as prot you will have a one hand weapon equipped 100% of the time, and 5% of every single amount of damage you do adds up :)

Spells are a pally tank's worst enemy :P....2/2 Spell warding can help with that, and also 3/3 Pursuit of Justice can help with that. Some choose to just not take either talents..as spells are our worst enemy with or without those two talents. I choose those two talents, to sort of help with the spell damage, as my guild used to not have a tank geared enough to switch out on spell damage heavy fights, so I'd tank everything. I also have got used to the 15% passive speed, and would hate life moving slow :P.

Edit: Wierd links showing up :P
