Getting back into the swing of things

[ex0r]

I think it would definitely help your case if you explained where you're coming from at the start of the dungeon.

And I hope the "random smashing" that you're doing goes along the lines of Heavy Swing -> Skull Sunder -> Butcher's Block. Seriously, those are pretty much the only 3 attacks you need. Don't bother with Tomahawk - use Overpower instead. You'll have to walk up to them to do it, but it'll make things a lot easier for you, trust me.

This is literally all I do. I only use tomahawk so that I can do some additional damage to them before they are in range of attacking me. I find it easier to drain them once they come at me with 3/4 life.

My rule of thumb for newer tanks or returning rusty tanks, is overpower X amount of times, when X is the amount of enemies in a pull. So lets say you tomahawk and pull 3 enemies to you, overpower AT LEAST 3 times before you start single targeting things. This ensures you've got yourself a generous enmity lead on all targets. Even two targets, overpower once or twice. Once you get a feel for the job again, this wont be as important.
