As an offtank, which you will be as a prot pala, your job will be to dispel the
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=70337 as well to take the
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/npc=37698 . Make sure to dispel the necrotic instead of losing one person, as I said earlier I’m using
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=69403 for easier aggro and more damage, keep taunting off the ghouls from warrior with
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=31790 WHEN GHOULS ARE ON LOW HP, (be careful, if you use it on the tank, or on a ghoul that’s on the tank then you can also taunt LK with it by mistake), and you can use
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=62124 on ghouls that are left, or going for ranged. You have to use your
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=54428 before the pull, so it will be up when second Shambling spawns. When it happens you no longer take ghouls, and preparing to taunt it, you have to use your taunt when its body is out from the ground, it's important and needs a bit of practice.
When you have 2 Shambling LK should be around 75% HP with a decent group of LOD DPSs, BEFORE the first shambling goes Frenzy (less than 20% hp) you have to ask for a
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=33206 , and BEFORE Pain Suppression falls off, you have to use
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=498 . If you taunted the ghouls correctly, your Necrotic should be around 9 (450 000 dmg / 5sec), before your Divine Protection falls off, use
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=48817 and run away, when the stun is off use
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=31935 and keep running, most of the times they die by passing the necro.
In case it doesn't happen you will have to go close, to get the necro on you then
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=4987 yourself. It can be scary and dangerous especially if you do it on the first time, first you should have OMNICC addon which shows the seconds your debuffs have, it also shows necrotic duration. What you have to know about necrotic is that is on the target for 15 seconds, and does damage every 5 seconds, (this is also shows you have 5 seconds to dispel necrotic in the first phase from a player), so when you see the necrotic did the second tick, you have 5 seconds left till the necrotic jumps to the closest target, or it will be lost if there is no target close to it. You have to be relatively close to the Shambling after the second tick, but make sure not to be in melee range, and when 2 seconds left you have to go close and stun it with
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=41468 (most of the time it will only last for 3 seconds because of the Holy Wrath you used earlier). After the necro jumps to you, dispel from yourself and run, if you see you would get hit, use
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=55004 .
If you somehow manage to not kill it, and it has a few % hp, don’t worry just bring it back to the raid, while paying attention to not kill the raid with its
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=73794 (the shambling should never face the raid for this reason) and kill it, preferable under a stun or a
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=6940 from a ret paladin to not die, since it will be Frenzy.
And it brings us why I think the above is the BIS itemization for Prot Paladin: because you have the hit and expertise to Stun the Shambling, what you could do in case you are using expertise weapon, is to switch before transition to a weapon that gives hit(if you don’t have hit cap), this way you have hit cap (such as
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=50672 ), you stun the Shamblings and before phase 2 you switch it back. On Transition you can also use
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=50708 in case you want to get bonus damage, and more aggro on the ragings.
After this 2 option will be, you take LK, or you don’t take LK, in case if you do take LK and not the last raging, when you run in ask for a
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=6940 , most likely from Holy Paladin. On the First Soulreaper Use
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/item=50364 , and ask for
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=33206 +
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=6940 , because you need cooldown for melee haste as well which is on LK for 5 seconds after the second tick of the soulreaper.

This Picture perfectly shows how the soulreaper works. On the Second Soulreaper you will have your own CD (=
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=498 ), make sure to use it before you get the first tick from the soulreaper, but as close to it as possible, to have for the melee haste as well. After Second SR the MT will take LK.
After this your job will be on second transition to dispel the
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=69242 from the tank, and make sure the new raging is on the tank or on you, its’ always better if you get hit once, than a healer or a DPS. On second Transition you have around 1 second to use your taunt on the new raging before you get the silence from the previous raging, keep in mind you can use
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=53595 WHEN you are silenced, in case retris are slacking, you have a spell to generate aggro. In phase 3 its really on the guild or raid what you will do, maybe the only thing you have to do is soak with
https://wotlk.cavernoftime.com/spell=498 , since you CAN taunt the spirits when they are moving, in case someone didn’t stack, you can taunt the spirit that goes towards the player.
