Haven't tried it with a Prot pally, but I'd be inclined to agree that statement. Three of the four Aspect Bosses (Eagle, Dragonhawk, and Lynx) all have AoE packs leading up to them that would likely go down faster and easier with a Pally AoE tanking. The Dragonhawk boss himself has a substantial AoE component in the fight itself which would lend itself well to Pally tanking (or off-tanking, as it were).
All things considered, I don't see a lot of tanking restrictions in the entire instance. Some of the bosses do quite a bit of raid damage, so your tanks have to be well geared... but there's no reason ZA couldn't be entirely MTed and OTed by any combination of Pally, Bear, and Warrior.
I think certain fights obviously convey advantages for certain tank classes, but nothing so substantial that you wouldn't be able to do a fight without a particular class of tank, as long as your tanks are properly geared and skilled. All things considered, I've found ZA to be reasonably tolerant of a wide variety of group compositions.
