    Yes, Siphon TP does work on NMs, and though I hardly use it, ill put it on my bar if I feel that getting Incap is more important.
    Raging and Ferocity have zero stam usage so you can pop out that threat when ever you feel like every 30sec/1min so atm keeping those on your bars specially with AoE tanking or Uraeus tanking is very helpful. Saying this more for others who dont have a masochistic personality to lvl all classes to 40+ lol. Easier to grab raging / fero for the more time-restricted tanks

    Sentinel is one of our highest threat generators atm purely from a Glad based ability stand point, saying a little threat is a lil understated just wanted to make sure others knew.

    Siphon TP will work but Siphon MP / Stygian Spikes will not work on NMs at least currently(might change with new NMs/content!) so don't waste AP if you're already hurting on it, unless you have reg mobs to be your MP bitch while tanking the NM(s)

    This isn't really directed at you since you have plenty of classes abilities so you losing hate while single tanking should never happen to begin with. This is more targeted for the newer tanks who don't have as wide a range of abilities to choose from.

    Everything else you said I'd agree with aside from you doing BR's unless you are doing it solo or you have offtanks in case your BR takes forever. I'm used to solo tanking all the NMs atm.

    Plus atm lets be honest none of the NM's are actually hard to tank currently. Was a bit sad after killing them. I leveled my glad to 50 before the SP changes/during the VIT/MND change hence why my shield is lower(idea of choosing to lvl your shield OR sword while sping was the gayest concept ever btw). Anyways I figured I'd have to haul ass to get deflection cuz the NMs would be hard but I was wrong and that made it harder to keep playing rofl.
