You would wanna go for the Mog Axe starting out, it's loads better than Ifrit's. Later on you wanna move onto Garuda's Axe and then even more down the line a Relic.
As far as tanking, as Raldo said tanks meld HP to most of their gear so it's harder to reach your cap. Alternatively you could double meld some STR on your gauntlets since more DPS = more enmity. VIT also helps with this.

I use Mog Axe, double melded STR on gauntlets, double melded HP pants, double melded HP sabatons, double melded enmity cobalt plate belt, AF body and head, 1 STR ring, 1 ACC ring, +enmity earrings, +enmity wrists, and since I'm Gridanian I got the +attack and +crit attack necklace.

Actually warriors dont have to meld hp into thier gear thats mostly for paladins
