Before, I had some of my stats reforged to Expertise, and now everything was reforged to balance out my parry/dodge. For some reason, I'm missing something in the reforging area. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, my paladin is Faction from Eitrigg.

I won't say I'm an expert on protection paladins, but I will give you the same advice as I gave a friend of mine.
You can hold aggro easily even with 0% hit and the base 10 expertise from the glyph (get the glyph of seal of truth by the way, since I see that you do not have it).
I would say it is a matter of the openers you use at pulling, a 3 holy power shield of the righteous at boss mobs will shoot you ahead of everyone on threat.
On multiple mobs remember to use inquisition and hammer of the righteous.
You can use divine plea to get to 3 holy power for the start of a fight.
Also I would suggest to change your talents a bit, eternal glory is useless for protection, as is improved hammer of justice.
I rarely use hallowed ground either, except just for consecration and dps show off on multiple mobs

Instead you could use those points on improvement judgement and rule of law, also I suggest to take pursuit of justice.
Also check the first post of this thread, you will see the talents and what each affects.
