  You are very much correct; Warrior AOE Tanking abilities are below par.
  Only thing I can say is have a Paladin or Death Knight tank the adds in Ony, that's what I tend to have, and then all you would need to do is help out at the beginning of phase 2, where the first mass of whelps spawn.
  If the guild you are in only has warrior tanks or you are the only one with the capacity to tank the adds, here is a helpful tip: make sure that the dps in your group does not touch the adds, let everyone stack in the center. Toss a thunderclap, then immediately a shockwave, stunning the whelps and letting the dps take them down quite a bit on 10 man, then toss out your AOE taunt that should have a 3 minute cooldown, not a 10 minute one. This should keep your agro long enough for either your dps to completely down the whelps, or for your shockwave to be up to rinse and repeat.
  Another way to grab more agro on the mobs is have a rogue Tricks of the Trade you and fan of knives all of the whelps.
  I hope this helps!

  The best rotation is one that you make yourself, there is only so much someone can tell you. Eventually you'll get your own rhythm and and such - but here are some helpful tips.
  Most warriors say that Axes or Pole arms are crucial for arms, the 5% crit helps the dps by a significant amount, saying that, the axe from H ToC (5 Man) would probably be your best bet if your guild isn't very progressed.
  For your rotation start off with a charge, immediately hit Rend, make sure that is up at all times hit mortal strike when it is up as well, other than that it is a waiting game for cooldowns and procs; your entire DPS will depend on execute procs, rage regeneration, and especially ALWAYS hit overpower when it is up, that is your first priority move - your dps can differ from another warriors just because he hit overpower more times that you did.
  If you do not wish to download a DOT timer for your rend, just make sure that you watch over your debuff or look at some floating combat text carefully.
  Hope this helps out,
