You can't trust players through matchmaking to use common sense either, some will attack different targets to the rest of the group forcing you to adapt your enmity direction.
Depends, that's an issue i'm starting to notice with medium sized enemies (normal trash, not "big" trash nor like those instances where you have to kill 10-20 very weak mobs) Think at the "standard" pack of trash you usually find grouped in a 3-4 units in a dungeon with no special monster of sort.

I'm tanking in Sword Oath cause i always did it since 50. I have the full squire set so damage handling is not a problem in 60+ dungeon. Was never necessary while around 50 (because my only combo was RoH probably).

Stay in shield oath for trash pulling and pull more, that way you could speed up the process instead of going for 1 -2 groups of mobs go for 2-3. Being in shield oath you generate enough enmity by just using aoe's, circle of scorn and total eclipse.
That way you could just focus on using your def cooldowns and AOE damaging spells, i guarantee you, you will be doing more DPS than trying to keep enmity in sword oath by using flash, combo and etc and dungeon will go a lot faster if you pull more.
This looks like an intresting advice, i'll test out TY!!
