DPS splits, you gotta split the combo. Use your AoE as much as you can afford. For marauder, you can cross-class flash pretty quickly, which helps when you're moving fast through a dungeon and TP is running low from all the overpowers.

You make a good point. Starting early is the way to go, and SE has made a good attempt. Hall of the Novice was a pleasant surprise! They actually teach some very basic steps to tanking. I guess to do better, they'd have to make tank roles stand out to new players, particularly at character creation. Glamorize the 'protector' and give it that heroic rock star feeling. It would certainly help if tanks started with some of their better tanking abilities up front. Grant provoke early (and not through cross-class) and the tank stance.
