Tanking Shields for Protection Paladins

Current for WotLK and Patch 3.3

With Protection as my off-spec, the one piece of gear I always seem to struggle finding is my tanking shield.  I am still using a level 219 shield from Ulduar, if that tells you of my difficulties.  So while I was perusing wowhead, exploring my tanking shield options, I decided to write a quick post on the subject.

Starting at item level 200 (epic quality) and moving up, I have compiled a list of tanking shields for Protection Paladins.  They are as follows:
