Just a quick note about the nexus stalkers.

I used to hate these guys as a tank also, but then I remembered gouge can only be used while you're facing your target. I'd start the fight with shielding slamming one, and sundering the extras and just hope i didn't get gouged before i built a little bit of threat. Then i'd turn around. It takes a lot of healing, and they have to die fast, but it' s something i've done before in the past. Same with moroes in kara. When the fight gets a bit complex, (like my off tank died) then i'll turn around until they can get him bat res'd.

[edit] Oh, i think when you're dealing with a mob that gouges, you if shield block is up you won't get gouged. Won't help too much against nexus stalkers, but for a single target like moroes you can turn around and shield block, then face him to get a few shots in before turning back around. Not sure how a paladins blocking skills work, but this might be possible when you use the holyshield (?).
