But I do generally agree that the shield is the way to go as a group tank. Best bet is to have both ready to go.

I'm not sure what you were doing wrong, but this is definitely an odd case. Aggro generation should not be an issue for your weapon to decide on. The only time 2h is really potent is if by some odd reason you have a badass 2h and a shitty 1h and shield. Otherwise its mainly only used for extra dps on mobs that you aren't tanking (like during raids). Otherwise always keep the shield on.

As for the aggro thing, if you are blinding a rooted mob, it will still prox aggro... That's the only thing I can see that you are doing that would allow a bad rogue to keep aggro over you with FoL. To quick fix the sliding thing, keep root memmed. Its an aggravating bug that becomes intense in high level situations.
