Pure Tank?
Right.
Max Lyc. Max WereBear. Get a Grizzly. Act II Merc, either Defensive, Thorns, or Might. FOr Hell, you might want to consider Act III Fire or Lightning, who attack while you stun with Shockwave. Tricky to control, but I suppose it is doable.
If you are just a meat shield, there is no need for Might, either go for Defiance which will keep your DR way up there, or for Thorns and let the DR Slide. IF you are building him for a team, HF will work fine, since it just slows the monsters down.
As you find + skill items, they will help round out your summons.
Max Oak Sage. (remember the bug, though) You are a tank. Or are you intending to kill things?
Two weapons: One Maul/Axe/Pole Arm class weapon
Second is a socketed Maul/ Axe /Pole ARm with as many sockets as you can get, filled with elemental damage to address PI's.
Shockwave at 10 or so, to keep the enemy standing still while you whack them. I would use a few points in Maul for attack skill. YMMV.
Werebear Tank is a very simple Build. Finding boots that make you move more quickly is nice.
See The_Dragoon's excellent Werebear guide for some detailed discussion on how to make a good one. :)
