Hey Spacedrake, I've seen you around on ShC. I think I may have run into that same paladin, and yes, he is wrong. The tanking mechanic is likely how you understand it: the boss has a 5.6% chance to critically hit you and at 490 defense you reduce that entire chance to 0%, and at 102.4% combined boss' miss, miss, dodge, parry, block the chance of a boss landing a crushing blow gets pushed off the attack table, which, IIRC looks like this (maybe the dodge and parry are switched):
Miss>Dodge>Parry>Block>Crushing>Critical
As said before, the only way to change that is to add some outside source (like a debuff that increases a mob's chance to crit) into the equation.
A little off the topic, this little discussion actually raised another question from me for you guys: If you're uncrushable, critical hits are impossible as well as crushing blows, correct? If i'm wrong let me know, but I never really thought about it. Personally, I try to keep 490 def and 102.4% miss/dodge/parry/block.
Gogandantes, I generally stick to this opening rotation: SoRighteousness(on trash, Wisdom or Light on bosses), Avenger's Shield, Consecrate, Holy Shield, Judgement, SoVengeance, then I repeat this one: Holy Shield, Consecrate, Judgement, SoVengeance. If you can follow that, the rotation's worked quite well for me, so the one you've proposed seems pretty nice.
With respect to your spec/gear, I'll post some pointers about it in detail when I can access the Armory (I'm at a public location where the internet use is monitored and won't let me connect to the WoW network of websites).
