For 60+ leveling you can refer to Spirit's guide:

For armour you should be looking for End, Str, and Dex/Spr. Somewhat in that order.
To tank and still kick butt? Well, get End based gear to up your defense and HP. Have scrolls and Endure and you should be fine to tank most things. It really depends on gear and a good cleric but you might find it difficult to tank KQ (last) bosses.
Your skill build for damage and tanking:
CD on Mock
Maxed empowerments on Devastate
Maxed damage on Power Hit
Maxed damage on Precise Strike (if axe) Accurate Strike (if 1h) << Probably Precise if you tend to use axe alot
Possibly duration on Vitality
