By Sentinel's effect, while it's active, enmity is increased for all your abilities. So enmity is increased across this entire ability string if you use sentinel first.

Aegis Boon allows for a 100% for sure shield block on the next physical attack or TP ability. Because of that, you can then War Drum right after for enmity as well as Phalanx to begin your first combo.

Assuming Phalanx hits, you then have enough time to use Bloodbath (because you'll likely take some damage before your next WS) then Rampart for an enmity boost before using Spirit's Within for damage and enmity.

If you had enough TP when you started the ability string, you can now use Fast Blade followed by Savage Blade, then you run through your enemy to the rear and use Goring Blade for damage and bleeding.

Tack Flash and Divine Veil onto the end and you'll be golden.
I dont intend to sound like a smart ass or anything , but, I now understand why you have some hate controll issues. If i may be soo bold and put up some sequences in wich you may want to try

Sentinel > Aegis Boon > Flash > Voke > Phalanx > Spirit's Within >War Drum (keep in mind if you already have enough tp for war drum and or phalanx i would use those first but otherwise this set up buys you a few seconds to build a bit of tp while keeping all your hate moves inside that 10 second buff timer of Sentinel.)

Rampart dose build hate but a few things to know, only realy works if you use it and multiple people get it, the more people who get the buff the greater the hate generation and it dosent get better with sent.

Also AOE cures (when ever you can, helps to have that on a macro) also gens hate realy well, but the heal must actually regen HP back to the target/s HP bar

as far as the other weapon skills , the only other one that is designed to gen hate and has been improved for doing soo is
fast blade > flat blade. true this one dosent do much damage at all but it has fast cool down times and very low tp requirements soo that helps with being able to spam it ALOT , also anytime you can spam sheild bash ( after having done your combos) it also genrates hate.

its a bit to have to do , wich is why i put self cures on macros , but once you do that, hate gen, damage deflection and self cures are too easy to not have to do, your cartoon (altho funny as hell) is not what PLD "should feel like" . If done correctly PLD should feel like a Pianist playing a song, alot of button mashing sure, but if done with ryme and reason, and timing it gose smoothly and damage deflection is outstanding. Hate control is up to par and self heals (when needed ) are always available.
