Yeah when it comes down to it, gear and skill are what make a tank. Ogre's frontal stun immunity is nice, but since it isn't working, then just go with the race you want to play. I played a gnome war (and then froglok war once they came out) and was a main tank and did just fine. Stamina is what you want to look at, but a few more base hp isn't going to be the determining factor. Like people said before, basic things like being able to corner a mob (shrinking down to fit in the corner so the mob is stuffed face-first in the corner), being able to snap aggro (pulling mobs off of your group), and knowing to turn mobs for your group so rogues/mag pets can backstab and if you have morons in your group that like to fight from the front and get eaten alive by riposte.
