[BlackGuard]Worth leveling?

Im pretty new to WAR , from what i played i think that i enjoy tanks.I have level 9 SM and level 9 KotBS.I dont like SM and i think that leveling further would be pointless , thats why i made KotBS. I enjoy KotBS , at level 9 i have 3 beneficial spells that buff my teammates and harm enemies , im hard to take down , i can withstand much damage and deal some decent damage. But still i feel that theres something i miss . I know that i didnt unlocked full potential of SM or KotBS , its just Tier 1 but i read some topics on forum . From what i learned ive got that SM is selfish tank and thats what i dont like and KotBS is nearly immortal but very easy . BlackGuard looks cool to me and im thinking about giving him a chance .
What i want from tank is :

Being very hard to kill , withstand much dmg , deal SOLID damage (I dont want any 2h build hybrid build , if i wanted to play tank like DPS i would go to WOW Legion where Protection Warrior can one shot you)
I want to be beneficial to my group while harm my enemies .
Also i want tank which is hard to master , i want something more complex , thats why i stopped playing KotBS.

So do you think that BG is tank for me or there is other tank that i should try or i should continue leveling SM or KotBS.Every advice from you is welcome.

Sorry for bad english. :)

If you want a tanky tank (BG is probably one of the tankiest), to be useful (5sec KD, outgoing HD, longest punt) and a challenge (BG is the hardest tank to play well imo) then you have found the tank for you.

It takes a special type of person to play a BG well, but once you master it, no other tank will suffice :D

BG is really fun but they arent as easy as the rest of the tanks. They have so many abilities that are very good for specific moments. I regularly used.. I think it was 27 different hotkeys. No other class comes close to that. They are not good pve main tanks for when it will be implemented. Off tank hell yeah but main... no

Basic 2h BG

1v1 build
* You swap out disrupt tactics for the parry depending on opponent.
* If you're fighting against DPS AMs/BWS/Engis then use Malekith's Bulwark, Disrupt tactic, and the tactic that increases your speed when you disrupt.
* If you fight against melee, use terrifying foe, rugged, and whatever else u want. stack pure parry.

I run in groups of 6 or less, so I like taking Wave of Scorn in the Loathing tree, and the heal debuff and ap drain in the anguish tree.
