- Are you running with 3 healers in addition to the prot pally? (this kind of raid setup has quite gimped dps especially on the first boss)
- He has spell warding
- He has a lot more HP
- He has a lot more avoidance
- He has argent defender
- He has holy shield
All of those make a prot paladin much easier to heal regardless of what gear he wears, and if he was wearing at least the epic FR gear he'd probably take less damage than full tanking gear, as resistances scale damage reduction by a lot per itemization point compared to anything else. I would guess that as a holy paladin you can't just go in with normal tanking gear and expect to tank them with only 2 healers (maybe unless you have full S3 gear with T6 healers), or at least it would be much easier to keep me alive as a holy paladin if I wear full FR + tanking gear in the rest of the slots. Note that you get almost max FR with just epic badge gear, wyrmcultist cloak with enchant and neck from cipher of damnation, and with some pvp gear still ~13k HP or so. I just think it will make it easier if I don't heal while tanking and wear higher stam/armor/avoidance - maybe even stress avoidance more than stam although if I do end up casting anything while tanking that avoidance will be wasted.
