Keeping a cloth wearer alive in those situations is hard and if you are nuking all out a VW is not going to be able to hold any aggro. In those cases you probably won't be able to take out the mob before it takes you out.

Hmmm, how about shadowform + pw:s + inner fire as a tank? Haven't compared mind blast threat but if the mages show just a little restraint a nuking shadowform priest could probably hold aggro against a single target, and should have with this combination decent damage reduction.
Plus saying your priest is a tank is just plain amusing :P
Combine this with vampiric embrace + the second priest healing, we probably could make this work up in the Scarlet Monastery. I think Archaedas would slaughter us -- the faster you kill him, the more adds you have to deal with. Everyone would be out of mana with no way to control the pace of the fight by tanking the big boss.
What about a soul-linked warlock for the big encounters? Probably couldn't hold aggro...
I don't know, just thinking...
