I have a level 25 warrior who is just starting to do his first bit of tanking (a couple of Wailing Caverns runs so far).
The fights have been mostly short with only a limite rage pool to work with. Shield Bashi (10 rage) usually lights up before Sunder, so its a tough decision whether to bash right away or wait for the Sunder.
If I have the time after a couple of sunders I switch to Shield Block. In both cases I try to hit Revenge when I see it light up.
I have learned that Taunting with an empty rage is kind of pointless. If you don't follow up with some kind of aggro generating move it goes right back to attacking something else.
In long fights (like MC) I imagine the plan is to get 5 sunders up as fast as possible (our guild uses that as the DPS signal on aggro sensitive mobs), then spam both Shield Block and Shield Bash whenever they are available with Revenge in between cooldowns.
