Agony Totem + Blockade of Frost combo has been working very well for me. Mobs get a heavy snare, Minor Vulnerability, chance for immobilization, chance for Minor Maim, and they get feared in place for 4 seconds. Your allies also get Minor Protection. Grave Grasp is not an attractive choice imo.
This is my personal take on Necro tanking: https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Special:EsoBuildData?id=151246Can you tell me your front/back bar setup so I can get an idea what to shoot for? Im one handed and shield guy.

I often use Mortal Coil instead of Necrotic Potency though. If you don't use an Ice Staff on the back bar, you'd probably need to slot Ghostly Embrace instead of Blockade of Frost.
I've been using 2h on back bar for extra DPS when needed. Would I be better served with a frost staff for ranges taunt?

why "extra" dps?? Why do tanks want to dps? You are the tank....tank...let the damage dealers worry about the dps. Wish folks would quit trying to cross over and do it all...just tank, and tank well. Roll a dps if that's your jam....

no. you would be better served by a ice staff back bar because of the snare that ice wall does and the fact that you can reliably proc the back bar enchant, which ought to be an infused crusher, not because of the range taunt, which is problematic at best.
