Tank combos are ridiculously easy to memorize by design, so that you can dedicate your free time to looking out for very time-sensitive things like that. Overall it can be intense, but it's not incredibly complex.
One thing that should be rather easy to do once you master that stuff (aka "the basics") is TANK dps. Any decent tank also does decent dmg.
