is this really worth it? i mean, shouldnt you allready be at the defense and avoidance cap allready?
i fail to see how a 'Warrior tanking weapon' would be better in this case then a 'Pally tanking weapon/Spelldmg weapon'
can anyone shed some light on this ?

Spell damage weapon or not?
Spell damage weapons are a fact of Protection Paladin life. You will nearly always be using a spell damage weapon, as the amount of threat you gain through using one is so large that the minor amount of mitigation or avoidance you gain by using a normal weapon can not compare.
However, you should nevertheless keep a good alternative avoidance weapon around for situations in which your threat doesn't matter much but your survivability does. Situations where this is the case are far less frequent than situations in which you'll need your spell damage weapon's threat, but they do occur. One of the best examples of a situation like this is being the tank on Fathom-Lord Karathress.
Typically for a spell damage weapon more spell damage is better, outside of the stamina the weapons might come with the other stats on them are largely useless. Spell hit and intellect do both have some minor use, but are not important enough to make them something you should seek after when choosing what weapon to use.
