I have a healing templar tank build that can keep me up for a very long time. I die from clunky CC break mechanics after being fear with full Stam and when my *** computer decides to run at 5 fps for a little.
With spamming purifying ritual you can mitigate a *** ton of damage and without pots I never run out of magicka.
I can't keep a whole raid alive, I've had to sacrifice a lot of spell damage but I can keep 10-12 alive pretty reliably. My back skill bar is utility and CC/block breaking.
@Imdrefan quite interested in your build. What do you mean spamming purifying ritual keeps you alive? The heals are meh compared to BoL. Ok you remove negative effects but still. I switch between efficient purge and BoL for burst heals. Also: my HA tank has 1.9k spell dmg unbuffed and 28k magicka. Regen is crap but like you said: pots (+rune focus) make up for that.

Also really good at interrrupt bashing!
There is no such thing as a pvp tank. Trying taunting other players and tell me if you kept aggro.
Nope its ancestor DAoC actually was.

when get taunt, the enemy can't hit another player, if she/he disobey it, the tank can damage twice the damage or something like that, and it works only on 1 person at a time
