    Could you guys offer any tips on how I could improve my tanking?
    Equip any of the following that you have:

    Intimidation - this one goes without saying.
    Accomplice - use on any healer that grabs hate, and make liberal use of it on the healers of your party throughout the battle to consistently reduce their hate and increase your own.
    Cure/Sacrifice II/III - Start the fight with you taking care of your own healing, using tier 2/3 heals so you grab the massive hate generated by heals. When your MP gets low the mages can take over, but by then you'll already have a headstart on hate amount.

    Make sure everyone lays off the Ogre for about the first 30 seconds of the fight or so... around until when the ghosts first teleport to the middle, allowing you to secure a good amount of hate.

    I think I got it.
    I only have PGL and MRD on R20, I'll try to get them to R30 as soon as possible.
    Also, I heard something about a very useful ARC trait that you get on R20, but didn't get it's name, do you know what it is?

    Archer's trait is Out of Sight, which essentially does the opposite of Intimidation. Something a tank should never equip, and a mage or DD should always equip.

    Also Accomplice is a make or break skill for a tank, especially now. No skill will grant you greater appreciation from healers.
