Pld still has the lowest enmity gen even after they get their tank stance, so there are some tricks you're may want to learn early. The biggest trick to learn is how to split your enmity:
After your initial hate grab, consider learning how to split up your enmity strikes (Savage Blade, Rage of Halone (lvl 26), Shield Swipe (lvl 30), and Shield Lob) across multiple targets to secure a lead on their hate. It's a tactic you can learn once you access to your full Rage of Halone combo, and is a good thing to make a habit of because it: 1) helps you secure aggro on peripheral targets, 2) spreads RoH's strength down debuff for added passive mitigation, and 3) allows you to be adaptable when the Dps go wild and start racing each other on different targets.
Keep in mind that, until you are at max level and fully geared, you'll still be relying heavily on Flash and should use it liberally. As you start to level, though, you'll notice you need Flash less. At level 30, you'll gain access to Shield Swipe, which can be used to gain additional enmity on a single target every 30 seconds (with the added effect of pacification). At level 50, one of your Flash casts will be replaced with Circle of Scorn. At MAX level and with top end gear, you should able to reduce your use of Flash usage to the duration of its blind application, varying slightly on the number of enemies you are pulling (additional Flashes may be needed if the number of enemies exceeds your ability to land enmity strikes on all of them before losing hate).
As you level, you should be able to get a feel for how much of a lead you need on enemies to keep hate, but until then you can also use the enmity meters in the party list to keep an eye on things. Just remember that the goal is to be proactive. You don't want to have to chase targets to take back enmity you should have already had. So, instead, try to anticipate which target is going to need the biggest infusion of enmity and split up your love taps accordingly.
