Tanking OOLS at 35

[Tommara]

<p>I (level 35 mystic) was in a group last night (50-something mentored swashy, 30 coercer) who wanted to do Obelisk of Lost Souls (40+ mobs).  To my surprise, no attempt was made to find a tank, the swashy said I could do it.  It didn't go well at all, but I'm only about 3 weeks old.  Any suggestions?</p><p>Thanks</p>
