I wouldn't worry about class/job all that much. Tanks are very similar at early levels and while there are significant differences at max level, they're not so pronounced that a vet would have problems adjusting. For example it wouldn't take much effort for a vet drk main to play as a passable DF PLD/WAR.

Learn the Fundamentals of Pulling Trash:
* Sprint
* Tag mobs as you pass them (shield lob/flash/SoC or equivalent)
* Stop
* Activate a defensive
* Secure aggro (flash or equivalent).

When fighting trash, perform AoE, and cycle your cooldowns as needed.

At a minimum, if you can do this seamlessly, you will be appreciated in DF parties. Bonus points for anything else, such as being DPS focused, mitigating tank busters, etc.
