I've rolled pretty much exclusively dps specs since forever but I want to roll a pure tank, which class/spec should I go for? What are the pros/cons of each spec in the current patch?

Protadin > DK/Bear.
As prot warrior, you'll start wishing you rolled Protadin/DK/Bear when you get into ICC runs. If you get to any that is.
In pugs you will get in every raid possible. Also join guilds that aren't elite jerks or make your own one or join your friend's guild and problem solved.
I would go with a warrior. I've had holy, ret, and prot pallys, and none really match the warrior when it comes to tanking. Warriors aren't hampered by mana needs.
