Glad you're still trucking along.
If there are times you cannot find a group, I know this is boring, but the best thing you can do is find a 6-8 minute mob that doesn't have adds to camp. Preferably undead.
If it is super easy try adding a second mob in the interval. This way you are not running around losing mana regen which ultimately slows you down without a group.
With a pally you almost have to dad camp it to be efficient without outside buffs or decent gear.
In your solo group time try saving up for SCHW for some haste on your gloves. Once you can root hop in and out. Save stuns for interrupts.
But yes, group tank is the way to go! Pally is definitely one of the toughest first char/only chars to play IMO.
Edit: I will also add do not be ashamed to look for a duo partner (although many people that are soloing shoot it down) - it is more than twice as efficient because there is some bonus and your kill time will be much better. Some classes you would duo with really nicely: rogue (they stab while you tank/heal); bard (they have a lot at their disposal like slow/charm/snare); druid (good healer for pally (DS, charm pet, fast travel); enchanter (they are good with everyone but charm/mana regen/slow/haste). Not that other combos don't work but those shine in my mind with pally.
