I don't always tank, but when I do, its as a level 39 WAR. That being said, I'm looking for a little general tanking advice. I come from WoW, and when I left that, you could face roll tanking. (And everything else) You didn't have to use stuns/interrupts unless it was a boss fight and absolutely needed, and you didn't have to use any defense moves until basically the same situation, boss fight and you're about to die. If you had trouble killing normal mobs in a dungeon, then you were doing something wrong.

That being said, I'm in the habit of not using defense moves until I'm low on health, and not interrupting unless its a boss, and sometimes during normal mob pulls. I'm just looking for a bit of advice because I don't know if not constantly stunning and using defense moves on pulls, marks me as a bad tank in this game.

A few times I just powered through a mob pull and got a little low on health, but the healer kept up just fine. Even though they managed it fine and didn't say anything, I can't help but think back on it and wonder if I should have used my defense moves to make things easier. But at the same time I don't want to constantly be using them, and not have them when they ARE needed.

So just some general pointers would be very appreciated, I don't want to be known as a crappy tank that barely makes it by in dungeons. And I'm not sure my previous MMO experience can apply here!
