Armour ratings on the PTR have been fixed. The badge legs now have 1544 whilst the new goggles have a whopping 1611.

For anything other than Prot, you can go to maxdps.com for some info. Though the site doesn't take into consideration mana efficiency or whats good for your raid. So you won't see thingls like mp5 gems or Spellsurge enchants.

@Steadypal - According to the OP, this list will try to focus exclusively on items designed for paladins.

Lieris - I discovered an interesting thing while browsing these forms. While there is a Sunwell Plateau turn in to get paladin oriented tanking legs, the generic tanking legs that you turn in to get them may be better in a MAIN TANK scenario.

Math using information from this post ( http://www.failsafedesign.com/maintankadin/viewtopic.php?t=6444&start=255 )

Felstrength = 2.44% Threat (From the expertise)
Judicator's = 23.5 tps (From the spell damage)

Balance Point for single target tanking: 962 tps (Felstrength is better above this mark)

At the level where you would be wearing these pants, 962 tps is certianly achievable. Not only that, felstrength has 0.8% more pure avoidance, as well as the dodge/parry reduction granted by the expertise.

Therefore for a single target main tank, felstrength has both more survivability AND more threat.
