Assuming a comparable ilvl, your opener as MT should be...

Optimized - (Better suited when you're comfortable on tank/with a reliable group)
High Threat - (Better for 24 mans and pugs)

You should also get into the habit of Provoke + Shirk, which helps the MT maintain aggro without the need of more combos or tank stance.

Or be like me and just have fun with what you got instead looking at some guide on how to do a rotation for a class/job that you main because buying potions and food just to clear Savage and Extreme is too expensive and is more of a chore... Also doesn't help that ALL ITEMS ARE ON A SHARED COOLDOWN!!! I at least need some gil for other things too.
