YJMark pretty much hit the mark.
You need your core Prot talents to be effective at killing stuff. Devastate (especially after the recent buff) is a great candidate for spamming. It's 100% weapon damage, a sunder, and doesn't take your white attack. And Concussion Blow and Shockwave are lifesavers if you some how manage to over pull. Along with a bunch of other survival skills like Last Stand.
You will always need a shield. Not only does it really help cut down on damage but you also get access to lots of skills. Shield Block, Shield Slam, Shield Bash, Shield Wall, Spell Reflect, and Devastate all require shields to be used. About half your frequently used skills. So have a shield.
And Defensive stance is nice but not always needed. Occasionally I will drop into the other stances if there is a skill I need to use, such as Recklessness or Retaliation, or if I want to squeeze out a little more DPS. If you know you won't die, Battle Stance helps a bunch at cutting down fighting time. But Defensive is a must if you want to take on a pack of mobs.

Faster weapons help build up threat faster due to faster Heroic strike spam if you need to build threat fast.
But if it's just for leveling, slow, high damage weapons go a long way. I haven't had problems with slower weapons but that's preference. Cleave deals weapon damage plus X amount to your target and nearby targets. So a higher damage weapon deals more AoE damage. And Devastate does 100% weapon damage, spammable every 1.5s.
Anything with Stamina (health), Strength (shield block), and defensive stats (Defense, Parry, Dodge, Block) are good stats to look for. Defense is the preferred stat of those four.

That's not exactly true. A faster weapon will do more AoE damage with cleave, since you can spam it more often and thus get the bonus damage and threat more often. The down side is that it will cost much more rage.

This is truth.
Wasn't really thinking last night. Spamming a skill that adds X damage would do more if done faster. But the whole rage thing is a pain too.
