Acc rings, kabobs, feint.

MDR is a off tank class, aswell as mild DD. I have LNC and GLD 8-9 levels below my MDR (which is my main) to keep a nice variety of moves I can use.

Warmonger, Taunt, Provoke are all vitally important imo. I generally don't ever run out of TP and just spam skull sunder (if the mob requires it), popping feint whenever I miss.

Don't forget foresight, pop it before you provoke, generally i find 7/10 times the I can pop Fracture the second a mob turns its attention to me (and get's parried).

I used to have LNC as my main but switched to MDR over a broader variety of moves, survivability and generally more awesome moves, even the default critical hit animation for MDR looks more aggressive/painful than the lnc's poncy poke.

Everytime I miss with Ferocity > Bloodbath > Maim I die a little inside. I have my Dex as high as my Str, not sure how much difference it makes, I also use two +5 Dex rings. I can't help thinking though about FFXI rule that 2 Dex = 1 Acc and I might be better off just using Silver Rings.

Yes, Silver Rings give more accuracy than Dexterity Rings.

Disorient. Honestly all Marauders should start every fight with it. It reduces evasion and adds enmity. AND it stacks. Against mobs like Raptors, having a stack of 3 Disorients is fantastic.

Seriously, check this out. I found it a few weeks back.

Yes, Silver Rings give more accuracy than Dexterity Rings.

Has then been proven - can you link to the testing?

Honestly at 50, feint is worthless, maybe if they introduce a Feint II. As for Disorient, its semi trash. In an "end game" party if your fighting with a Lancer they should spam Comrade in Arms II as much as they can. If you pop Disorient II then you'll remove there debuff and decrease TP generation for all your party members.

Well, i play "DRK-style" with MRD. Using absorb spellls as MRD is helping alot with accuracy issues. Absorb ACC from one, EVA from next, ACC again from third (recast is still long even with the afinity trait so alternating is a good deal).

Also, absorb ATK and DEF often increase my WS damage by around 100 points.

But of course, i had to put points at mage attributes (which isn't bad at all) and use 4 darksilver rings for a better magic accuracy.

I saw so many people claiming DEX would save MRD...i started with 120 DEX...nowadays i have 82 DEX, 80 PIE and prefering much more as it is now.

That's quite interesting...I may need to look into that.

I'd say full silver rings +1 (since they give you the most acc, cause you can wear all 4 of 'em) and seafood dishes give the most acc. I use Mugwort Carp, they are lvl 40 so difficult to get your hands on usually, but it's the best. Here is a list of some of the accuracy foods! I don't miss any more than all the other DoW classes do, I use a Vintage Bill, rank 50, with 130 Dex. Hope this helps!
