Just a few things that came to mind when reading the replies.
1: If you are going for pure tank you could go with a single handed weapon and a shield. That would give you some blocking which would help you tank even more. It would hurt your damage though.
2: I don't think a thorns merc is such a good idea. Since you are aiming for having alot of defense monsters will probably miss you more often than they will connect (and a shield would lower the chances even more cause you might block). Of course any extra damage is good so a thorns merc would hurt them when they do connect, but I think a defiance merc would be more along the lines of the idea for the build.
3: It sounds to me like this build is actually not to different than a pvp werebear. I've never made one, but the idea is for them to stun lock things with shockwave or a fast 1 handed weapon and let their grizzly kill the person. At least that is what I have gathered from what I have read. So you might try looking for a good pvp wearbear guide. I think somebody did have one over at the diabloii.net druid forum, but I don't remember for sure.
