Leveling to 50 question.

I have to admit that so far I'm not feeling the tankiness, tbh. Shouldn't I have some sort of distance pull ability? I'm well up for taking aggro for the team, but the group things i've been in so far, mobs aren't sticking to me particularly even though I'm spamming a wide range of my attacks. I'm weilding an axe.

You get more abilities later on that allow you to increase your hate. Early on, there's only 1 maybe 2 abilities if you're not using cross-class abilites. Keep in mind that if you are losing hate all the time, then you need to use your hate increasing abilities more often and that not all your attacks increase your hate, only some of them. Look at the ability description to see which ones do.

DPS have a habit of being able to grab hate if from you if you're not careful. I've had tanks tell me to slow my dps down (???) because I kept grabbing hate from them.

You get your ranged pull at 15 and its important that you grab cross-class skills such as flash ~ things like this really help with holding threat. Just check out some tank guides and they should give you a good explanation on how everything works.
