incompetant -- how can I get better?

I have a couple of problems right now... I'm undergeared and I have no idea what I'm doing; a dangerous combination... was hoping I could come here and ask questions as I think of them and learn more about playing this class.

First of all, is there a website(s) I can go to to read warrior strategies/guides? I have a feeling I'll have to learn a lot from experience, but it'd be great if there were guides out there. (google searches found nothing)

Most of my questions will begin with me presenting a scenario, what I did during the scenario, and then I'll ask what I should've done. I can only remember the most recent one, but I'll be back with more later on.


Earlier tonight I did a North Ro LDoN and was pulling for the group, and sometimes we'd get 3-4 mobs at a time with no crowd control. I'd pull the mobs and have all 3-4 aggro'd, but then the cleric would heal me and aggro all but the one I had targeted. I have no idea what to do in this situation, so I usually panic and run over to whoever the mobs are beating on (cleric or shaman), frantically taunting all the mobs until I regain aggro from each of them. I don't know what else to do in this situation, and it doesn't seem very effective because it usually leaves the one mob that was on me behind and it attacks whoever is nearest. (I'm guessing I need to taunt this mob before running off..?) It also seems to confuse the group, because they'd sometimes keep switching to the new mob I was taunting/attacking. So I guess my question is: How do I maintain aggro on multiple mobs?

When I regain aggro on the mob(s) I lost, do I go back to the one I was on before that people are (hopefully) still assisting on? or continue attacking the new one till I lose another?
Do I keep aggro on multiple mobs by switching and doing several % of damage/stun procs to each of them?
What exactly should I be doing to effectively tank more than one or two mobs?

Please keep in mind that we're only up to the Gates of Discord expansion on my server.

Thanks!

well this is easier with area taunt AA at level 59. (Didn't post level)
