In that case, use a crusader, or a fighter/crusader multiclass.

I want him to bring Justice...
Okay, that's much more clear.
I'm going to jump on the Crusader wagon. Just crusader 20 is probably the way to go. That said, an Idiot Crusader is really cool, though it may be a bit OP for your games.
Armor based Tank
Doesn't work. There's no such thing as tanking in D&D. At all. It just doesn't exist. Also, armor is generally quite inefficient.
Also, we need to know what sources are allowed.

I'm also gonna jump on the Crusader bandwagon. They're fun, fit what you're asking for, work well and are pretty tough to mess up. I actually played a Crusader from 1-20 before and didn't have too much trouble keeping up with the rest of the folks. That ranged combat stuff can be a bear but that's not what I designed the character for.

You want to wear armor. The heavier armor is, the more it limits your Dexterity bonus. For example, an ordinary set of full plate armor limits your Dex bonus to +1, so if you want to wear full plate not made of mithral or another special material, putting more than 13 in Dex is an absolute waste.

Well, that's true for the AC aspect of it, anyway.

Zauber's Mutable Rod: This rod has a number of useful functions that make it easier to live in the wilderness. It is made of polished wood, with five studlike buttons on one end. Each button produces a different effect when pressed. Unless otherwise noted, the rod’s functions have no limit on the number of times they can be employed.
• When button 1 is pressed, one end of the rod produces a small flame, equivalent to a candle.
• When button 2 is pressed, the rod unfolds into a two-person tent, complete with bedrolls and warm blankets.
• When button 3 is pressed, the rod becomes a one-handed hammer, suitable for pounding pitons into a wall.
• When button 4 is pressed, the rod becomes a sturdy iron spade.
• When button 5 is pressed, the rod becomes a wooden bucket able to hold 2 gallons of liquid. Once per day, it can be commanded to fill with fresh water.
If the rod is seriously damaged or broken in any of its alternate forms (button 2, 3, 4, or 5), it reverts to its basic rod form and cannot be activated for 24 hours.
Moderate conjuration; CL 9th; Craft Rod, minor creation; Price 375 gp; Weight 2 lb.

If you're a "heavy armor" type player you probably aren't a "ranged" player which removes one more use of DEX. Of course there is a feat that lets you use WIS for ranged attacks but that's a different issue. If you don't need DEX for AC or attacks that leaves skills and save. Now DEX does govern a lot of good skills but many of those skills will also see the armor's ACP when is the system's way of saying "forget about these skills if you wear heavy armor" so we could dismiss DEX's value for skills when wearing heavy armor. That just leave REF save and while it is a commonly used save it is almost always done to resist/reduce damage and damage is something that can be ignored at times.
