Control your toggles, no need to run around rooted.
Slow down your attackes, you can survive a beating,
stand there and let your end build. Rest between spawns
and load up on blues. Like Speed said, once you reach Stamina
and DC that will help alot, also I put at least one
End. in all my powers some get two.

I run with an Ice/Fire tank and I LOVE him. With my
ice/fire I have some decent control with WetIce and
I'm never in end trouble with Energy Absorption. I also
enjoy Icicles for some extra PBAoE damage and taunt.

Fire speaks for itself with Combust and Fire Sword Circle.
I also broke into the Pyro Epics and love the Melt Armor
and fire ball, makes for a great big mob solo tank.

To carry you even deeper into start slotting purples
and full IO's. Fun for all.
