Single sword/knight tank build help

saroven

I am looking to create the "perfect swordsman" like Black Knight/Baron Zemo or a traditional fantasy "greatest swordsman that lived" kind of build with one sword. Want to be able to tank with it like a traditional tank in other fantasy MMORPGs. Appreciate any help. I haven't played in a couple of years due to health issues and am ready to jump back in.

Last 1-2 powers can be w/e. Does the usual stack to 5x Bleed -> Rupture thing vs. bosses w/ Reaper's Caress and Embrace, and uses Scything Blade for easy pbAoE (can take R2 for more dmg if you don't want the KD adv; I'd keep Swallowtail to help re-proc FotS). Gears mostly for Con and some Dex.
