Help: Protection Pally

[SomeBogus 0]

So my friend and I are have been recently running dungeons. We are all in all having a blast but lately we have run into some major issues... wipes. I am the healer and he is the tank and I find that when I heal randoms I have no issues at all. But when I heal my friend, he is very squishy and gets 2-3 hit by trash. I have little to no time to keep him alive and I find harder to heal him than any other tank (including other paladins.) I have done research via other forums and even read both class guides here on icy-veins and come up with nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The biggest difference is gear. Other tanks are probably fully heirloomgeared. And that is night and day difference from lvl 50 greens/blues.

Let him pull smaller packs of mobs and make sure he has Sacred shield up 100% if possible, and ofc spend his holy Power on Shield of the righteous.

And actually use defensive cd's even on trash.
