and no gear into a ICC will be pretty tough, even this late in the game. If nothing else but the fact that tank are pretty important an you're going to have a hard time getting a group to give you on the job training unless you already know a bunch of people.
Run 42 random heroics a day until until you get everything you can get badge wise. rad on what tank should do and go watch some ToC videos online so you know the fights well enough that you can at least fake it. If you have zero friends who will help you learn what you're doing just go it to any PUG that you can con your way into. You'll get actual tanking experience and even if you **** it up in the worst way ever, who cares? its a pug and you have to learn some how.
IMO, your goal should be to get caught up for Cata, with the side goal of being able to get into Ruby Sanc if possible.
If you're not tied to server consider finding a practice guild.
learn your class and watch vids
Get gear good enough to sneak into pugs.
start building contacts
be prepared so that when Cata releases you're a viable raider
