Found recently that Templar tanks in high level PvE content suffer from a lack of a health-scaled burst heal, meaning if you're taking a lot of sudden high-damage attacks (e.g. Kjalnar's Fist in Unhallowed, Corruption of Root in ERE) you really need your healer to be helping you out. Really wish they'd rework Honor the Dead, or one of the clap heal morphs, in order to deal with this (but I suspect this will adversely affect PvP, so probably will never happen). I just personally don't feel Radiant Ward makes up for the lack of a proper burst heal.
I have a tank for every class but the funniest to play is my NB tank.
Due to his insane damage reduction and stamina management you can choose every race (mine is khajiit for recoveries and crit healing)
