Tanking in this game takes real work, with no forced taunt and no threat leeches, but it's all the more fun because of it. At my level, I find marking mobs, pulling with a shield toss, running in and flashing, and all is pretty much good to go as I then start a single target aggro rotation and flashing again for good measure. All this takes just a few seconds. Except for a few oddballs from the Duty Finder most dps I've run with are pretty good at giving me that time. Of course, that's just for your standard 2-4 trash mob groups. Dealing with adds and special mechanics often requires fancy footwork and improvisation.

And oh yes, always trying to switch to the next mob in the list before the first mob is dead so that when dps switches targets you already have a strong aggro head of steam and they can continue hitting all out, which I like because the faster the mobs die the less time they're around to pound on me.
