Is it possible for a Paladin tank to tank a mob that uses both physical and magic attacks with BoP on?
Well, sure. But BoP lasts for ten seconds on a five-minute cooldown (you can talent it down to 3 min), and during that time you can't make physical attacks (for Alliance, that means your Holy Vengeance is likely going to fall off). On appropriate mobs, you can give yourself a ten-second breather at the cost of pretty much all your threat generation (you can judge one seal).
Frankly, there's no need for the Paladin to be tanking. You can BoP anyone, after all. Of course, for warriors and druids, it really does cut off all your threat generation, which is not a good thing.
