TBh if you've got to 31 with a prot style build (not checked your link), and fancy tanking further down the line, you may as well stick with it imo. At 40 you will get shield slam, which is a fantastic ability, and if you are generally playing solo, you will find that a prot build rarely finds you in a position you can't walk away from.
Prot is great fun and very good for levelling from 40 onwards, which isn't too far away.

I think essentially the rage you use for sunder armor could be used for other things. Since you're going with a prot build, and it sounds like you like shields as well, stick with it. Instead I would fight in Defensive stance and use both Revenge and Heroic Strikes. Revenge does some amazing damage even at lower levels. Heroic strike takes a lot of rage and is generally considered a rage dump, but I think it's still better than sunder armor. Once you hit 40 you can use Shield Slam, and then Devastate at 50.
The other alternative as you mentioned is to level as Arms or Fury and then switch later on. If you like shield bashing to interrupt spells, you'll like
pummel
just as well at 38.

Thanks for all the advice...
Tbomb - both builds, that you linked, are identical.
if you want to go 1H + shield, don't even look at arms. the build tbomb posted is a good starting point for you.

It seems you are intent on prot, but want to use charge to start. I suggest you create a macro to auto switch to defensive stance on second press. It'll get easier after you get warbringer later on.
As for sunders. you are dealing such low dmg, a small dmg increase is not worth the extra time you spend to cast it. When leveling, it's all about killing speed and fight duration. Always keep that in mind when choosing gear or skills. That is also why the BoA lvling trinket has hate rating on it.
Best of luck.
