In need of some help/info.

Its been brought to my attention that there are a few things wrong with my tanking style. Ive been told that there are few things wrong with my gear (% block being to low to be specific) and that I have threat generation problems.
My current gear is http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Baelgun&n=Faustopstal.

my rotation for my threat is always avengers shield, holy shield, consecrate, have SoR up before the battle to judge at this point, then rinse and repeat.
i hope i posted this in the right place and hope to get some help so i dont let future raids/parties down.

First off... Block be damned. Yours is fine your guildies are crazy. I tank in Armory Link! with an Icon of the Silver Crescant instead of Moroes and it works fine... Unless the locks are enjoying themselves a bit much. Wink

Sanctity Aura spec, as has been said many times, is probably not the right answer unless you are fighting bosses that will always hop over Ardent defender (i.e. Brutallus.)

It looks like you are starting Hyjal and maybe BT. Ardent defender is far too powerful for you to consider giving it up now. I'll repeat that for emphasis. Ardent defender is too powerful to give it up now. This is especially true if you tank trash in Hyjal.

Drop imp ret aura, put back on the 100 badge legs, put 2% threat on your gloves, and flask/oil for spelldamage. Then max One Handed Weapon Spec as it is another 2% more threat and get ONE point in to Improved Judgment. Consider dropping Imp Crusader and Spell warding for Precision and Pursuit of Justice.

For Bosses:
HS->AS->Judge->Cons->HS->Repeat While prioritising Holy Shield.

For Hyjal Trash:
Cons->Run away!->Cons->HS->Judge/Exorcism->Cons-> Repeat While prioritising Consecrate and Holy Shield. (You are getting Sanctuary right?)
