Use Disorient, make sure you have Intimidation on, Warmonger is nice for trouble, use Second Wind II with Seasoned Veteran to heal yourself instead of having the mages do it, you could use taunt as well, make sure you are using phalanx every time you block, and consider switching off of shield bash since 30 seconds is too long to wait to dump 500tp. Axemanship and Skull Sunder II is nice for normal monsters since you are using so many MRD abilities anyway. You can also use accomplice to keep a troublesome DD's hate lower.
