    Questing sword is HQ, which has better stats than the vendor sword. Looked at MB, and nothing in a reasonable price range (everything is 2M plus - the downside of being on a smaller server). I'm working on my BSM, but that's still struggling to overcome the 50-51 DotL/DotH gear gap.

    Should have enough Law for the 170 tonight or tomorrow, and enough Esoterics for the 200 next week. But still, for now I am at enmity with Enmity.

    I felt the same way, my first 2 dungeons I forgot to unlock the new abilities, and didn't have a problem tanking. I then unlocked the new abilities, and would get them in as much as I could (of course after generating good threat) and would often lose threat. I then went back to using mainly my lvl50 rotation.

    tl;dr use your lvl50 rotation until you have the gear to support the additional DPS rotation we now have.
    I tried that. That's usually effective for the main mob (though I'm two "lucky" procs away from losing enmity altogether), but if I'm with a SMN or BLM, I'm usually having to use every trick in the book to get the mob to hit me again instead of them.
