I would recommend not using scourge or other attacks (other than the beginning of the threat combo) that provide no additional threat bonus unless absolutely necessary, such as to replenish mp as needed, especially at low levels and before getting grit at 30.

My general rule of thumb is to unleash/flash/overpower (depending on tank) as many times as there are mobs in your pull before moving to do anything else in particular, at least at lower levels and when you are pulling fewer mobs at once. In larger pulls later on with tank stance and a good weapon you may not need to aoe threat as much.

The most important thing at low levels is to recognize when you can stop attacking a particular mob and start getting advance threat on the next, making good use of the 2nd or 3rd part of your hate combo by tabbing it onto other mobs in the pull as needed.
