On leveling, make sure you upgrade your weapon when ever possible. 90% of your enmity potential is directly from your WD stat, which is counter to most MMOs out there from a tanking perspective.

Watch out for Brayflox, there's a huge jump in mob damage at that point and you're going to get smashed in there going in at the starting level if your equipment isn't above average. This will continue through Temple of Qarn and even out around Cutter's Cry once you pick up Shield Oath and get a higher amount of hp per Vit.

Sure brayflox is a little harder then most dungeons around that lvl, but its nothing different either. And this one is not about leveling though... or gear stuff just general tanking. and ofcourse Enmity will increase with weapon damage as they all but Flash takes there damage from your weapon.
That is also part of my reason for not using it as much as other do... and rather stick with savage blade for basic tanking at lower levels.
