Chain casting Disease Cloud is about all you can do, but it should work since spell hate is massive compared to white damage.

It gets better I would say, my SK is level 50 and I can hold agro off anyone if I want to.

If you are also pulling running into some mana problems is pretty normal, this works itself out later when you start getting better gear. Clarity is pretty sweet also.

Stay the course and you will be fine, SK is one of the best 6 man tanks in the game (the best IMO).

EDIT: level 30 damage cap would explain a lot also - good point Legidias
The only caveat regarding disease cloud is to be very very careful using it when there are mobs which may add that will require a target change when you have an enchanter. I wiped in the hole because of a disease cloud when a rock golem added and the SK had disease clouded the original target because it became unmezzable.
