*sigh*
Apparently everyone is ubersensitive now. I used to use the carebear term all the time, and people accepted for what it was - good-natured ribbing. Apparently it's an insult used to start fights currently, judging from the replies.
Call me a murderous psychopath or griefer - I'm not gonna get my panties in a wad over it. I'll just chuckle and call you a pansy carebear :)
Anyway, back on-topic:
As I said earlier, any points in Protection will hurt your damage output, but once you decide to make the jump, you need to decide how deep to go. You can get the first golden ability, Improved Shield Block, only 11 points deep. 14 points deep will get you Improved Bloodrage (resulting in about 7% HP loss) and Last Stand. Going deeper will get you Concussion Blow (21 points) and/or Improved Shield Bash (22/23 points.) Shield Discipline's pretty nifty, but it's not really worth the 31 points, IMO.
I'd suggest you figure out a way to squeeze in Piercing Howl into your build; the AOE snare effect is great at keeping mobs from tearing off after the squishies, and it's useful to keep mobs rooted in place so Warlocks and Mages can AOE the crap out of them, assuming you're not a Tauren with Stomp :)
