Holding hate and surviving are both more primary and important to your role as a tank in any encounter than your DPS. Push to maximize your damage output, yes, but do not do so at the cost of holding hate or surviving the damage you take. While you're gearing, this means using Rage of Halone more frequently on the pull, and then switching to Royal Authority once you've got a threat lead. Once you have more gear (focus on your sword), you can probably make that switch sooner.
