w/m and switch res sig for resurrection

also, you are no tank at all. Tank implies that you can take a punishment, so you should take all of those points out of Strength and put them into tactics, then take about 4 skills from that line, to "tank". Of course, this is pve, cause a pvp warrior tank is pretty silly.

oh, and what the hell @ bull's strike? What's up with that? throw it out like a christina aguilera record

bull's strike does extra damage and knocks a person down when they are on the move. very handy skill. and he can take a lot of punishment but even better kills the enemy before they can do too much damage anyways.

if this is very mediocre then what else should i do to improve it?

If you want to tank, go into the Earth line and get your AL through the roof with Armor of Earth and some others. There is a decent one in the builds section on this site.

Also has longer recharge than protector's strike. screw knockdown, nobody casts while they're running, you have sprint, be a man.

is having upgraded armor better then having self-healing?

Definitely, because self healing will lower your DPS and extra armor will not. In the middle of the battle when you stop to heal, you will lose a few hits. You don't have to stop for extra armor, it's just there. Self healing is also bad because you won't be very effective at it, a Monk can do it much better than you could, however you can be a solid attacker and still buff up your defense.
