For PVE levelling, the KotBS doesn't really have any particular "must-haves". Take "Coordination Tactic" for more Parry. Use Stay Focused (for self heal), All Out Assault (for AoE ticks), and On Your Guard (for thorn aura) for Auras. Stack as much Parry/Block as possible (parry is cheaper for renown points, so start with that) and just pull tons of mobs. Keep up Shield of the Sun and Perseverance on when you have the most mobs on you. Emperors Ward, Rugged, Coordination are all good tactics to use.
Might be better to run 2-hander with Runefang, but when I tried that it wasn't as effective for me as going full tank S&B.
PvE levelling works best if you can get a healer and AoE DPS (BW, Engi, Slayer) around the same level as you to group and find a spot with lots and lots of mobs a few levels higher than you.
Lastly, not that you asked, but I would recommend just levelling through PvP if you intend to PvP in T4 with this character. Hitting T4 at low RR sucks, and the lower tiers are super fun when they are actually going.
