How to play gladiator efficiently?

Isn't that a level 41 skill? They should be a PLD about that time already then.

Others covered most of what needs to be said, but what I usually do at the lower levels is Shield Lob, then Flash 2-3 times depending on how big a difference in level and gear there is between you and your party. Combo skills wise, alternate your targets and save your finisher and highest agro generator for the target the dps are focusing down, if such exist. To support AoE agro, and to at least keep from losing things to the healer if you have several enemies, I'd recommend using Flash again every other combo unless you see they're really ripping off of you, then use it more often.

46 in fact!
But nice catch, my bad.
