Here's your guide to tanking every basegame boss fight including veteran. Taunt, hold down right click, and refresh taunt when needed. Rinse and repeat

I haven't try warden tank, but I do have some experience with templar and dk. Dk has a good cc skill while templar has a good heal and sustain support.
Here is a little tips,
- have 2 taunt on each bar (puncture & inner fire)
- cc skills like unrelenting grip and talon if you play dk, silver leash from fg skill line if you don't play dk. In some situation you don't have to cc pull though, sometime inner ring will do most the job so you can slot a better skill.
- you might want to use defending trait on your weapon if you don't have enough resistance
- having some support gears or skills is a must
- playing tank are just, taunt, support your team with buffs, cc, pull, and keep an eye if your teamate attacked

2 Taunts on each bar is a bad use of actionbar space. You only need taunts on front bar not both.
You should always have a cc skill, silver leash is very easy to get, only takes an hour.
Support skills yea, support gear optional that or defensives
As a tank you need to know your enemy skill kit more so than a dps because 9/10 times its directed at you. You don't need aggro on everything you need to identify the deadliest target and make sure it's focused on you. (Ex: Bone collosus in fang lair, ogrim's in selene's ,etc) Usually mobs with 2 hand weapons are the deadliest so keep them on you. The biggest thing you can do to seperate yourself from the smooth brains is learning when to dodge and when to block. Do this and learn individual boss fights and you'll be golden.
