This video covers my "Iron Fist" 25/14/2 PVP tank spec for the Bounty Hunter Powertech and Trooper Vanguard advanced classes in Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR). Vanguard and Powertech are mirrors so this video is applicable to players of both classes.
I designed the spec after discerning the limitations of the Defense (avoidance) and Shield (block) mechanics for tanks in PVP, as I documented here:
http://taugrim.co...
Mitigation is king in SWTOR PVP. The two 2% mitigation talents and 5% mitigation from the tanking stance stack additively to provide 9% mitigation against all damage types (i.e. Elemental, Energy, Internal, and Kinetic) - you can see this by mousing over Damage Reduction on your Character window.
The 4-pc Tech set bonus, Flame Shield (Static Shield) talent, and Flame Surge (Static Surge) talent synergize to generate a high frequency of high-damage Rocket Punch (Stockstrike) crits.
Here is the spec used in the video:
- Powertech: http://www.torhea...
- Vanguard: http://www.torhea...
The "Iron Fist" spec has been very effective for me in PVP, both group play and solo. It's designed to support aggressive close-quarters combat gameplay: you can tank and burn down MDPS and pressure and shutdown casters and healers, while retaining Guard, charge, and debuff capability.
For more information about Powertech / Vanguard PVP, please refer to my free in-depth Guide:

I queued solo for the Huttball match shown in the video.
Comments / Errata:
1. I had an incorrect Relic bound on my Quickslot bar. The point made in the video still stands: the level 50 Crit buff stacks with a Relic
UPDATE (2012/2/2): people have been asking about gear for this spec. Here's what you want to get:
1. Supercommando Shield offhand: to leverage the free +15% Shield Chance buff you get from the tanking stance. While I don't believe the Shield Chance stat is worth stacking for PVP, the +15% benefit is worth leveraging
2. Combat Tech 4-pc set: for the awesome +15% Crit Chance to Rocket Punch (Stockstrike). Alternatively, if you prefer the Supercommando set bonuses, you can go 4-pc Supercommando and swap out the mods for DPS ones
3. Go for DPS stats for the remaining slots: this means Eliminator, Combat Tech, and in some cases Combat Medic. The priority for the stats is what I documented in the Stats and Gear section of my Powertech / Vanguard Guide:

To see me PVP'ing live, check out the streaming schedule on TwitchTV. My stream features real-time commentary - and to the extent possible interaction with the Chat Room.
Cheers,
