I noticed the changes to illumination and i'm a bit dissapointed...oh well. They also really moved the entire tree around (again) so i'm unsure what I want my spec to be.
Anyways, I realize Paladin's can tank now. I've been looking over this forum for about an hour now, reading the stickies and such. I either haven't been paying much attention or the answer is too obvious to everyone for it to matter right now. What are the new abilities that let a paladin tank better? Can I still tank in a Holy specc'd class? (Holy is what interests me at the moment). I realize i'll do better in a prot spec, obviously, but in random pick-up builds for mid-level raids/instances where a tank is out of the question, would a holy specc'd paladin be able to tank effectively, or more effectively then a year and a half ago?
That said, what is the fate for a holy paladin in endgame? What abilities in the holy tree define an endgame paladin?
EDIT
I'm a 43 paladin who goes sword/shield and gears up for damage reduction.
