Awesome tips, thanks. Looks like there's two schools of thought on Barb tanking:
1) Use as much CC as you can, and kite until the CC is available again.
2) Stack as many healing abilities as you can, and generally forgo CC.
Both methods obviously also stack survivability talents and defense. I've been trying method 1, which may be why I was always running into the "I can tank it or I run for my life" issue. I look forward to trying out method 2.
Oh, and edit: is Tough as Nails (25% armor passive) not that great? I notice it doesn't seem to grant as much armor as I'd expect it to, like it's only boosting base armor from gear or something.
