Pls Rate my R/W PvE Tank Build

Hiya All
After playing a long while with R/Me and R/Mo, I thought of doing an R/W build.
Its ONLY for PvE. I'd be grateful if experienced people can rate this.

Attributes
Expertise 10(8+1+1)
Wilderness Survival 8(7+1)
Axe Mastery 12
Tactics 8
--------------
Total 199pts

SKiLLS
Cyclone Axe
Swift Chop
Executioners Strike
Whirling Defense
Apply Poison
Throw Dirt
Victory is Mine{E}
Res Signet


Note:
The High Expertise allows me to spam Cyclone Axe and Swift Chop continuously. The higher energy regen of a ranger (than a warrior) also helps in this.
Besides doing a lot of damage, this builds up adrenaline at a pretty good rate, letting me push in the Exec Strike quite frequently for a nice spike.

Strategy:
After drawing as many monsters as possible, use Apply Poison + Cyclone Axe for an AoE Poison and Throw Dirt for an AoE Blind. Use Swift Chop and Cyclone Axe continuosly till you can hit the Exec Strike. Use ViM to refill health and energy, and Whirling Defense(please suggest if any other stance will be better here) to survive the hits.

For instance, if I have 3 enemies around me, with the two conditions on each, ViM will give me 30 energy and 264 Health.

With the Druids Armor, an Expertise of 10 and Energy Regen of 3, I should be able to spam enough cyclone axe and swift chop for 15 seconds before the next ViM.

Please let me know your thoughts/critiques of this build.

Again I repeat, this is a PvE Tank Build Only

Also I need suggestions on
The upgrades to use on the axe for this build.
Nature of Shield to use (+health always/in stance/etc)

Thnx

might want to put in penetrating blow instead of exec strike, then use eviscerate/dismember and axe rake. Cyclone axe is good for your combo but some monsters are immune to poison. in which case, bring dismember and drop apply poison.

whirling defense, throw dirt, and apply poison are good. *see above*

if you use eviscerate, then I suggest Berserker's stance for speed and adrenaline and alternate that with whirling defense, using wd when your health gets low.

Never leave home without Troll unguent unless you have a good healer with you.

Another wise investment would be a damage absorb shield, 16 def, -3 damage while health is above 50%

Not sure about axe attributes but one with +15% damage/condition is good, especially if it lengthens deep wound/cripple.

Since you can't use a rune of absorption and don't have absorbing armor either, it might be good to have +armor bonuses with axe upgrades and shields as well as +hp runes/upgrades too.

If I use Eviscerate, I'll have to let go of ViM, which I feel is essential in regaining energy :/

Also, at Tactics 8, would Healing Signet be better than Troll Unguent?

Err...do the preparations WORK with melee weapons? and do Expertise Works with non ranger skills?

I'm pretty sure expertise only works on ranger skills.

hah yea, u might aswell take everything outta expertise and take apply poison out aswell.

infact, why do u want to tank with a ranger, you know it is called a RANGE - r

trying to copy the vast amounts of hammer rangers coming into gw?

or is it the new smiting warriors that ive seen recently, once again another trend in GW gets wh0red just like the air ele's
