2) assuming you're not a druid, it's not recommended you tank with any PvP gear.
but due to the high damage reduction and stamina values, as well as a decent resiliance for crit resistance, probably up to the early stages of kara as a warrior and any heroics as a warrior/paladin
but prefereably, save your honor points and just go pick up a PvE gear for tanking

I agree with Blademeld on this point.
I would like to say, imo, you shouldn't put that kind of strain on guildmates because of your own lazyness. You can, however, tank normal 5-man content with just about any gear.
Bottom line: You should get a tanking suit if you really want to tank.
The resulting success you have will depend on how much effort you put forth.

Actually, the gladiator shield--now obtainable with honor--is superior to any shield you can get outside of raiding.
Gladiator's Shield Wall
5197 Armor
134 Block
+45 Stamina
Durability 120 / 120
Requires Level 70
Equip: Improves your resilience rating by 29 (0.74% @ L70).
Azure-Shield of Coldarra
4668 Armor
115 Block
+31 Stamina
Durability 120 / 120
Requires Level 70
Equip: Increases defense rating by 22 (9 @ L70).
Equip: Increases the block value of your shield by 33.
Crest of the Sha'tar
4465 Armor
108 Block
+19 Stamina
Blue Socket
Blue Socket
Socket Bonus: +3 Dodge Rating
Durability 120 / 120
Requires Level 70
Requires The Sha'tar - Exalted
Equip: Increases defense rating by 13 (5 @ L70).
Equip: Increases the block value of your shield by 24.
comparing S1 shield and badge shield
134 BV vs 115+33 BV (BS by 14)
45 stam vs 31 stam (S1 by 14 {~200 HP})
5197 AC vs 4668 AC (S1 by 529 {~1% damage migation})
29 resilience vs 22 def (BS {~1% avoidance})
S1 is better than BS by a marginal bit due to the 200 HP, but you may benefit from the 14 block (for trash tanking & threat generation {warriors})
S1 vs Sha'tar shield
134 BV vs 108 + 24 (S1 by 2 points)
45 stam vs 19 stam (S1 by 3 points {~50 HP})
5197 AC vs 4465 AC (S1 by 732 {~1.5% damage migation})
29 resilience vs 13 def & 3 dodge rating (SS {~0.5% avoidance})
For me, i'd take the Sha'tar shield any day, but that's my personal preference...

Shield Slam is one of your top threat generators. Having alot of Shield Block Rating can make huge amount of threat and damage.

The higher level raid you are in, the more shield block rating you need. If it is low forever then you will be inneffective because everyone will be stuck with dealing low dps making get hit more overall.

that also means that your raid will never get past loot reaver since your DPS will be too low to kill anything before the enrage timer ;)
