I've been intrigued by initimitanks recently, mainly because of my small time spent beta testing Hellgate: London and how fun Guardians are in that game.
So, taking a page from Riot's Tank Build, I tried out a WF Intimitank.
This build can easily do well with or without tomes, though it excels with tomes and plenty of raid loot to go around.
32 point, though. If you only have access to 28 point, fiddle around. You can drop the Con and Wis by 2 points each and survive.

A few points shy of Riot's build, but comes with added immunities! Disease, Poison, Negative Levels, and built-in light fortification!
As for gear ideas, lots of raid loot makes this build pretty well superior to your standard fare fighter.
Head: +Intim item (Helm of Mroranon would even work for some content)
Goggles: Sandstorm Goggles
Necklace: +5 Prot/Amulet of the Stormreaver
Trinket: Mummified Bat/Kardin's Eye/Jerky
Cloak: +6 Cha (for when you need that Intimidate to hit)/Cloak of the Zephyr/Greater Resist/Jungle (reduced healing, but every bit helps)
Belt: Belt of Mroranon (heavy fort!)/Lion-Headed Belt Buckle
Gloves: +4-6 Dex/Bramble-Casters
Ring 1: Chattering Ring
Ring 2: Seal of the Earth
Bracers: Chaosgarde
Docent: +5, insert whatever here (+5 Fearsome, if obtainable, would rock the virtual casbah)
Shield: +5 Mith Tower Shield
I don't have this build up and running, still working on my Evasion guy. But this just might be the next build I work on.
Introduce a full Ranger and Paladin to the mix and the AC just goes up!
Now, alignment. Lawful Good, yes. Why? No UMD. This allows usage of Chaosgardes without a UMD check, as well as (if the raid is ever beatable again) usage of the new longsword (banishing, banishing!) with no UMD hassle.
Filter with plenty of nice longswords, battleaxes, scimitars, whatever, and you can hold out on damage as well.
Pick up some +5 Guard Docents, Brambles and Lion-Headed and you can go into Porcupine mode, just as Riot has gone about on occasion.
And, since it is being posted, comments, suggestions, criticisms are all welcome.
