What makes a good paladin tank

Reckoning : Reckoning has been significantly overhauled, becoming a much more powerful talent for threat generation. Although this talent is great to have for maximizing threat generation from your autoattacks and seals, for raid bosses this talent is very risky to have. Additional swings against raid bosses due to Reckoning means that the boss has additional chances to parry those attacks, causing the tank be hit by successive autoattacks much more rapidly, which may often result in the tank taking extremely large amounts of damage much faster than healers can keep up.
