Shields don't exactly fall from the sky. Whenever I level a new tank I end up thinking "ok where was it I was gonna go next to get that shield?". One might think I should know this by heart by now, but alas... To aid my crippled memory and all the rest of you who might be looking for this kind of thing, here is a simple list of all the shields you might want to have for your tank from either instances, quests, crafteds or AH!
I decided to list them by level, since that's probably the easiest to follow. But if you're looking for shields that drop in a certain location just push ctrl+F and write the abbreviation e.g. WC, BFD, BRD, AH (Auction House that is) and etc. If you're looking for a certain boss drop just write the name of the boss. Remember that quest reward shields usually are obtainable at low levels although it requires you to do a higher level instance, which means that even if you can take the quest for the shield at level 20, you might have to be several levels higher to do the quest (depending on how boosted you can be).
Shields with mostly caster stats not included (although some of them are ok for tanking).
Shields from heroic Outland instances not included, since no one does them anymore.
Shields of green quality not included (since they're generally not very good).
Shields from raids not included.
Shields from PvP rewards not included.
Shields are all of blue quality unless stated otherwise.

If you notice anything incorrect, please tell me :)
Thanks to Wowhead.com for helping me do this list!
