Melee tank build feels like paper

I haven't been playing since EA launch, and I don't really know what the expected experience is. However playing as a Thorns Warbringer with shield, it feels really terrible in T1 maps.

* Warbringer lvl 67 with Turtle Charm
* 78% block
* Vengeance + Vaal Pact
* maxed out all rez (76%)
* 1100 armour

I'm being 1-2 shot through resonating shield. What's the point of choosing a melee tank build if you just get obliterated in early maps when you've gone for the most defensive build possible?

Something is not right here. I shouldn't be needing to play like a rogue on my tanky bruiser.

Building "tanky" in a game balanced around a dodge roll just doesn't really rhyme.

A lot of people could've told you this when it was clear that the dodge roll became a part of the development. If you're supposed to dodge roll out of danger, tanking the same danger won't be a thing.
