Thanks for the replies. I may just go as Guardian then. The duel wielding does look cool though.

With most of the game being about questing over flashpoints, is there any positive to specializing in a tanking spec? I just started a Jedi Knight and I'm loving it so far. I have always also enjoyed tanking, but it seems like I'll be questing way more than I'll be doing flash points at this point. Should I just go the sentinel route once I hit level 10? Also, in the early days of WOW, you could tank in DPS specs just fine most of the time. Is that the cast for TOR as well? Can a Sentinel survive as a tank early on? Thanks.
