Thanks for the suggestion, the ICC 5-mans do look like fun.
I've had other comments that I haven't set my heights very high.
I think the reason for this is that I have never tanked before and as well as gathering gear, theres a strong element of learning how to operate a protection paladin interwoven in this project. Even the old familiar instances start to look very different when you're standing at the front

.
Last night (for example) I was very lucky to fall into a very friendly (and strong) VH PuG group that coped well with the fact that it is very easy to out aggro me atm. I was ok on the single portal keepers and bosses, but had loads of problems catching and keeping hold of the dragonkin groups.
The immediate next move is to get a little practice on ToC normal. When I'm a bit more confident I can then start risking random heroics before switching to the new content and the promise of the 219 item level drops.
