As I said earlier in this thread "more ranged aggro skills/ class". Provoke is a ranged skill ... with a ugly CD that makes it so that if who ever you're pulling aggro from effs up before you can run into the not-very-far range for a SL then you start playing tennis with the mob for a bit. Having the option to provoke and follow up with ranged aggro skills that have that range so that you don't have to compromise your positioning with other mobs you have would make a "more ranged class" of tank. Having longer reaching aggro AoE skills than Flash and SoC would make a tank more ranged. And of course a tank will have to be able to stand up to damage so mobs that do melee would ultimately get close which is why gun blades are a good concept.
