You don't need to spam Overpower 'till you're out of TP to hold group hate, unless you're being completely out-geared by your party members. At your level, you should only need several or so per group of 3-4; Overpower > (Heavy Swing > Maim) > Overpower (x2) > (Heavy Swing > Skull Sunder) > (Heavy Swing > Maim) > Overpower (x2 if necessary) > continue single target combos.

Overpower's hate gen. is often underestimated and many think they just need to spam it when they lose enemies to people focusing an enemy the tank is not. There are a few ways to combat this; the simplest is to mark the focus target of the group (no need to mark them all as it can just complicate things), another option is to do all the grunt work yourself and continually change your focused target to which ever are being focused by the dps (this option will be harder at your level since you do not yet have access to your enmity combo finisher, Butcher's Block). I don't normally mark, but I run with static players most of the time; I tend to tab through targets to gauge my enmity lead after an initial AE burst, from there [single target] focus down enemies and weave in another Overpower if necessary. The only time Overpower spam may be necessary is during large group pulls of speed runs, but you have time to recover TP between those pulls.
