A dungeon tank on Vakron and an Aulamus Longsword: Judgment without a cooldown at 19, Pummel at 20, Fury on every Block and Taunt's Shrink on the boss.

What a Templar is there for

You hold the boss and you turn it away from your group, because everyone else hits harder from behind. Taunt takes it back whenever it wanders, and the Shrink it leaves cuts the boss's attack and, from stigma level 5, how much damage it can shrug off. Every Block you make triggers Fury: your whole party gets +10% PvE damage for 20 seconds. A Templar that blocks a lot is a Templar whose group kills faster.

This version is the gear most strong Templars are in right now: Vakron armour, Aulamus jewellery, an Aulamus Longsword at +14 and green cards.

Opening a pull

Battlefield Banner
Before you close in. It turns your defence into attack for 12 seconds, adds Multi-Hit, and from level 10 more weapon damage.
Taunt
From up to 20 m, the moment the boss is in range. Use it again every time it comes back.
Doom Shield
A rush with a knockdown on anything that is not immune, a small shield on you, and it switches Judgment on for three seconds.
Punishment, fully charged
On its own; hold it until the last stage and let it go between Judgment windows.
Then the two lines
Hold your basic attack and let the Judgment line and the Pummel line run.

Two lines do the work

Every shield skill you use, Shield Smite, Warding Strike, Shield Rush and Doom Shield, switches Judgment on, and from skill level 16 Judgment has no cooldown. So the first line is Judgment at the bottom with Shield Smite and Warding Strike above it: Judgment wins whenever it is lit, the shields fire when it is not and light it again. Warding Strike also heals you and makes you take less damage for 10 seconds, which is why this setup stays tanky without trying.

The second line is Annihilate at the bottom, Debilitating Smash above it and Pummel on top. Annihilate only hits a stunned or knocked-down target, so on a boss it lights up now and then by itself and fires the moment it does. Debilitating Smash comes off half of your Shield Smites and cuts the boss's defence. Pummel fills everything else and takes a second off Punishment with each hit.

Skill	Level	What the level gets you
Judgment	19	Extra damage and no cooldown; the third pick waits for 20
Pummel	20	All three picks: more damage on one target, faster Punishment, a harder follow-up
Vicious Strike	16	Warding Strike back two seconds sooner, and the Threatening Blow follow-up
Punishment	15	Faster charge and damage over time; ignoring block comes at 16
