Whatever you do, don't listen to the people telling you to use ultra low ratio garbage like lariats... I speak from extensive experience when I say that high ratio is the only way to go for reliable aggro. If you really must have a proc weapon, obsidian flamberge has a passable ratio and a solid aggro proc. But honestly, you would do best to stick with the highest ratio non proc weapons you can find until you can afford ssoy.

Great post here.
I highly recommend getting a shark tooth 5/18 and polished steel dirk 8/23 for your offhand and trying to tank with that. This is honestly the best set up I could get for my warrior under 1kp and has served me very well all the way up to 45. With the tooth/dirk set up you'll be contributing a lot of damage to your group and with the fast attack speed of the daggers each of your swings help build threat. Make sure you always have str and haste buff.
Still a good idea to have your obsidian shards handy when you're grouping with a rogue for example but in a lot of situations you don't need procs if you're smart with taunts and have decent ratio + most importantly fast attacking weapons. Help your group actually kill mobs and use better ratio weapons if you learn to do this you'll exp much faster.
