Never underestimate the power of Vampiric Rage combined with Soulshots. Even as a tank, the amount you can heal from Vampiric Rage can almost negate the damage you take, especially with full support behind you. Tank shield blocking negates a considerable amount of damage, so always take advantage of sto gold!
Having a hostile or careless player come by with a room or two of monsters and having them aggro onto you is more of the kind of situation in which you would want to use Ultimate Defense.
In addition, Ellyrion Fiallathandriel (Reckless_Knight on the official forums) of Kain has this to say: In addition to Glav's tips on tanking, have a chat to whoever is your crowd controller in the party. They may not understand what Glav has posted and will just sleep/root mobs willy nilly and expect you to tank them in the order they were CC'd.
Finally, fight with other melee classes. The class that’s able to pull aggro the fastest in parties is usually an archer.
A single early crit can pull all aggro away from you as a tank, whereas a crit or two from a Gladiator usually won’t.
