Hey there, folks!

The past few days, I have been leveling up my Warrior. Currently, he sits halfway through 68. Given that I am still leveling and have sub par gear, I stay in Defiance. I try and keep Inner Beast up as often as I can while rotating Rampart and Vengeance when I know things are about to get rough. I'll pop Awareness with Raw Intuition on larger trash packs, and use Convalescence on CD while in combat. I save Thrill of Battle for larger-than-average pulls and use Anticipation for most trash packs, given its short(ish) CD. Now that I've covered my cool down usage, I'd like to appeal to the veteran Warriors out there and ask: am I supposed to be squishy right now? Things just seem to wreck me. I understand that we're the "dps tank," but given my current state of survival, my only option is to prioritize defense over damage. Any advice or words of encouragement? Do all tanks experience this level of wreckage in here while leveling? At what point does it mellow out and I start to feel tanky? Thanks in advance!
