I did gear up an alt GF, bc our GF stopped playing. He is a tactican SM GF. I use the rotation most ppl suggested here. The first thin I tanked in a group was CN. My experience was this:
With 2k IL I died, if I did not have an DC with anointed army or a HR with fox shift in group.
With 2.5k IL it was ok, but if I screwed something up, I was dead.
3k IL, is a walk in the park. I can maintain my shield 100% and I can cast my daily and then the encounters without a problem, EXCEPT lags. If I have lags, I die the moment I drop my shield.
PS. 2k IL, 2.5k or 3k IL is not the same for everyone. I got R 8/9 guild boons AP gain companions and some other boons (mounts etc.), that dont reflect in IL. The statement above is based on my char. The IL can only give a clue to the real gear and stats.
