Thanks for the replies guys but maybe I was misleading in my OP. I'm already playing a level 16 SK.

I'm looking for a detailed explanation of tanking mechanics like AC mitigation, how taunt works exactly, suggestions on sacrificing AC for stats.

AC mitigation: AC is NEARLY always king. See guide for frustrated warriors linked above for more information.

Taunt puts you at Top of hate list + 1 hate. I'd have to dig deeper to determine:
1) Taunt may not function on yellow-red /con mobs until a future patch.
2) I do not know if taunt includes proximity aggro or not when bumping the taunter to the top of the list.

Sacrificing AC for stats: almost never. See frustrated warriors guide linked above for more information.

Ah ok!

Thanks for pointing that out! That guide is actually exactly what i was looking for.

Thanks again all!
