[BZRKR]

On my Rad/TW Tanker, I have (in order taken):

Defensive Sweep, Taunt, Follow Through, Build Momentum, Titan Sweep, Rend Armor, Whirling Smash, Arc of Destruction.

 

The rationale is to take my Radiation Armor powers early and establish the character as hard to kill at as low a level as possible. When running the Positron TFs, I have Build Momentum, a couple of attacks, and Taunt. This coupled with the other aggro management tools at that level (Radiation Therapy and Beta Decay) lets me contribute.

 

I think the "Must Have" powers are Build Momentum, Follow Through, Rend Armor and Arc of Destruction. However, Whirling Smash is very satisfying, and Defensive Sweep deserves an honorable mention for being a Luck of the Gambler Mule.
