The new Heroic gear is basically filling in the gaps of Prot Paladin Itemization before Hyjal/BT. The only good belt was a crafted belt, and it was made for AoE Tanking (block value/spell damage). Yes, there's still Girdle of the Invulnerable, and depending on your gear you might still want to take that. But if your avoidance levels are high enough without it, you will gain more stamina with this belt, and the added bonuses of spell damage and spell hit, which, especially spell hit, is hard to come by for Paladin tanks.

Obviously I'd choose this belt while tanking a boss, and Belt of the Guardian while AoE tanking. Girdle of Mighty Resolve throws a wrench into this equation, because you will gain a lot of stamina, a little spell damage, and a good amount of block value, but you lose avoidance and spell hit. I'd imagine you'd at least replace Belt of the Guardian with Girdle of Might Resolve for AoE tanking, but as for boss tanking and other tanking it's going to take some good looking at your gear and min/maxing other places to determine what you should wear. I'm not complaining, though, at least we have choices now!

I'd say that the Belt of the Guardian is a better option...

It's actually disappointing to see spell hit rating instead of melee hit rating (or even more spell damage) on these new Paladin tanking items...

Avenger's Shield uses melee hit rating and with the change in patch 2.3, even Righteous Defense uses melee hit rating now. Seals don't hit unless your weapon swing hits, so they use melee hit rating as well. Holy Shield and Consecration aren't affected by either spell hit rating or melee hit rating. Exorcism does use spell hit rating, but its only usable on Undead/Demons so the benefit is limited. Damaging Judgments are really the only Paladin tanking ability that still uses spell hit rating.

So what would be the consensus on Girdle of the Protector vs. Iron-tusk Girdle
Iron-tusk Girdle
Binds when picked up
Waist Plate
904 Armor
+45 Stamina
+12 Stamina
+12 Stamina
// Socket Bonus: +3 Dodge Rating
Durability 55 / 55
Requires Level 70
Equip: Increases defense rating by 21 (8.88 @ L70).
Equip: Increases your dodge rating by 33 (1.74% @ L70).
Stats total (Armor is the same)
+69 Stamina
+21 defense rating (8.88)
+33 dodge rating (1.74%)

Girdle of the Protector
Binds when picked up
Waist Plate
904 Armor
+40 Stamina
+12 Stamina
+ 6 Stamina + 4 defense rating
Socket Bonus: +4 Stamina
Durability 55 / 55
Requires Level 70
Equip: Increases defense rating by 11 (4.65 @ L70).
Equip: Increases your dodge rating by 27 (1.43% @ L70).
Equip: Improves spell hit rating by 18 (1.43% @ L70).
Equip: Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 23.
(I tend to fetch +Stamina Socket Bonus when i don't loose to much)
Stats total (Armor is the same)
+62 Stamina
+15 defense rating (6.34)
+27 dodge rating (1.43%)
+18 spell hit rating (1.43%)
+23 spell damage

Difference when ignoring Socket Bonus on Iron-tusk Girdle, but getting Socket Bonus on Girdle of the Protector
-7 Stamina (~ -89HP, Assuming Sacred Duty, Combat Expertise and Blessing of Kings)
-6 defense rating (~ -2,54 defense)
-4 dodge rating (~ -0,31% dodge)
+18 spell hit rating (~ +1,43%)
+23 spell damage

Looks like a Threat vs Avoidance choice ...
The first tick of Consecration can be resisted, so can Judgement.
Righteous Defense is (as of 2.3.0) affected by hit rating and not by spell
hit rating. Seal of Righteousness is bound to the weapon hitting, therefore
hit rating. Concerning Avenger's Shield, i have no idea what it's chance to
hit is affected by, the critical damage is based on melee crit (200% modifier
vs. 150% for spells).

Pretty much Melee Hit is all you need, and we get 3% from talents. Seal of Righteousness can never be resisted (Judge can be, however) and only the first tick of Consecration can be resisted. Therefore spell hit is nigh-useless for Tank Paladins.

I wouldn't say that spell hit is useless for a paladin tank, but I wouldn't go out of my way to gear for it as one. It would definitely be much more important if Righteous Defense still worked off of spell hit, that is for sure.

I will just say that I like to have some spell hit on my gear, but not a ton. There is nothing quite as painful as a wipe on Leotheras in SSC when your JoR is resisted after a whirlwind. :(

Got this belt now with only the chest and the helmet left on my shopping list for the badges.

Excelltent Tanking Belt and it was definetely an awesome upgrade from the Girdle of the immovable. I had to think a little chosing this one over the Warrior's version (the one without +spell damage) but since I'm using the Sun Eater and not a caster weapon, the overall stats are better.

If you keep intending using a heavy +spell damage weapon, go for the warrior's belt instead.

any thoughts compared to the belt that drops in SSC?

Do you mean the Blacksmithing crafted one Belt of the Guardian that is made from plans that drop in SSC?

I would say that this one is the better choice. It has less defense rating, no int and -seemingly- less stamina. But therefore dodge and spell hit and a few points more damage. The Block value from the SSC BS Plans is not that important for Paladins. It is mostly a threat generating ability for warriors and you don't really want to go for stacking it as a Paladin... only accepting it as a nice asset to an item that gives other good avoidence stats or block RATING as well.

The 13 INT are nice but you also don't want to stack that with such a high priority that it should be the reason for chosing the Guardian belt over this one.

Yes, it SEEMS as if the Guardian one has more stamina, but see it this way:

You would probably socket the guardian one with +4def and +6stam and a +8 parry or +8 dodge gem to gain some avoidence stats. Only stamina stupid tanks would pop +12 STA gems in and therefore have NO avoidence at all on that belt. This one though is best socketed with a +12 stam and a +4def+6stam gem giving you 62 stamina in total on this belt, which is 4 more than the 58 that would come from a properly socketed guardian belt. PLUS you have the dodge bonus and the +spell hit. It has less defense, but by now you are probably not stacking that anymore.

Unless you are far away from 60 Badges and know someone who can craft the guardian one for a reasonable price or you can craft it yourself, the Girdle of the Protector is your No. 1 choice! You will most definetely replace the Guardian one with this one anyway once you have the sufficient amount of badges.

I was about to get the Guardian one crafted before the patch came out but then also chose this one saving a lot of G for the mats and Nethervortex AND ending up with a superior belt!
