How to be a good SK tank?

[Pilgrimzero]

So, Ive been playing my DE SK (Hesperax) and am now level 9, woo spells!

Problem is I still can't taunt for crap. And thats my roll in groups. To take the beating. no matter how much a hit them or taunt them they pretty much ignore me.

What can I do to better recieve threat? I have a nifty magic sword and shield. The sword doesn;t proc or anything. I've heard a good proc weapon helps keep aggro. I could maybe afford a Tentcle Whip if anyone ever sales one in EQ.

Any thoughts? Or weapons or advice I sure would appreciate it. I want to fill my role in the group...

Thanks!
