okay this is my 1st guide for PvE Protection Warrior.
I will skip the gearing up process.
I'm using the glyph as this:
>Major:
>>Glyph of Shockwave
>>Glyph of Devastate
>>Glyph of Cleaving
>Minor:
>>Glyph of Battle
>>Glyph of Command
>>Glyph of Thunder Clap
now open your interface menu, and click your actionbars menu.
now put check on all this:
>Bottom Left Bar
>Bottom Right Bar
>Right Bar
>Right Bar 2
>Lock Actionbars
now change your keybindings into something like this :
(from the top keybindings order of your keybindings window)

BottomLeft Action Button 5 (F5) = Battle Shout
BottomLeft Action Button 6 (F6) = Demoralizing Shout
BottomLeft Action Button 7 (F7) = Intimidating Shout
BottomRight Action Button 1 (Q) = make a macro, name it SC, and you don't have to pick any picture, just leave it as a question mark symbol.
Now enter the macro for SC:
#showtooltip
/cast [modifier:shift] Challenging Shout; Shield Slam
BottomRight Action Button 2 (E) = make a macro, name it DT, and you don't have to pick any picture, just leave it as a question mark symbol.

BottomRight Action Button 4 (T) = Spell Reflection
BottomRight Action Button 5 (F) = make a macro, name it SD, and you don't have to pick any picture, just leave it as a question mark symbol.

#showtooltip Last Stand
/cast Last Stand
/cast Berserker Rage
/cast Enraged Regeneration
/cast Shield Block
/cast Spell Reflection
/cast Shield Wall
/cast Corroded Skeleton Key
/cast Bubbling Brightbrew Charm
okay now for the rotation of skills:
1. Charge
2. Taunt (shift-E) it is written it has no effect, but still I use it always after my Charge
3. Mocking Blow (shift-R) you should use this everytime it is ready to make sure the boss agro on you all the time.
4. Shield Bash (X) this one is a good threat making even if it doesn't give any damage, and often said immune to the boss. You should always use it everytime it is ready
5. Shield Slam (Q)
6. Devastate (E) and if Sword and Board proc always do Shield Slam (Q) right away.
7. Shield Block (E) and then Revenge (R) and if Sword and Board proc always do Shield Slam (Q) right away.
8. Heroic Throw (Z) this one is a bonus threat making. Should use it everytime its ready just like Shield Bash (X)
9. Heroic Strike (R) if you got more than enough rage, go dump it with this one.
10. Shockwave (F) good threat making. Use it everytime you feel like it.
11. Concussion Blow (G) good threat making. Use it everytime you feel like it.
and for mob tanking just use a lot of Thunder Clap (C), Cleave (C), Shockwave (F), Demoralizing Shout (shift-F) and Challenging Shout (shift-Q) if you did loose the agro.
if you got in the pinched situations just spam PB (B) like you mean it. Sometimes the Enraged Regeneration isn't proc in that macro, so you should press action button 5 manually. Simply it was our Panic Button
If you want me to show you how I do it, you can call me in game.
hope it help, have fun.
