Human Dragonmark line

[Aerendil]

Going nuts trying to decide which one would be better for an intimitank (be it Fighter or Paladin, or a mix thereof).
Just to recap:

Sentinel line offers +2 intimidate (nice for Intimitanks), Shield of Faith (nice deflection bonus if you haven't anything else), Protection from Energy (again, could be nice), and Globe of Invulnerability (all posts about this claim it's usefulness is minimal and only really shines against mind flayers and the like).

Passage offers Expeditious Retreat (always a welcome utility spell), Dimension Door (useful in some later levels), and Teleport (again, a nice utility spell).

So going off of paper, Sentinel seems useful for the 1st and 2nd ranks, yet most Human tanks tend to go with the Passage line.
I'm just curious how these have panned out for anyone who's tried them, as I've only really played with the Halfling and Elf DMs.

Any information would be appreciated.

I recently grabbed the least and lesser dragonmarks of sentinal on my pure fighter. I had respec'd this fighter from THF, to a TWF with part time blocking and intimidating for use in the hound and vision.

Least gives you the +2 intimidate and opens up the lower rank of the enhancement line for an extra +1. (you might compare this with just taking intimidate skill focus for +3 all in one feat). The sheild of faith clicky that comes along with the least dragonmark is pretty useless to me at present, however it may come in useful for some people when juggling gear around to fit in the intimidate item.

Lesser opens up the next rank of the enhancement line which gives you another +1 intimidate (for 2 enhancement points) and a protection from energy clicky. While it might be good for solo play, and it adds some convinience, I havent found this to be very useful overall. I will be swapping it out for either "skill focus intimidate", or "improved shield mastery".

Honestly, neither is really suited to a true Intimitank, as they'll have a +5 Deflection bonus already static, and Prot Energy is cast easily from spellcasters/UMDers (or if you have a Pal/Rgr splash).

The Passage line is nice in that it can effectively replace your Striding item, which grants a nice synergy for things like Kundarak Delving Boots or Boots of the Innocent. DDoor is outstanding to have for Titan raids (which you'll be running plenty of for the Chattering Ring and for the Belt of Brute Strength, maybe even the Seven Fingered Gloves if you have UMD) so you can solo the green puzzle.

Teleport is nice, but it can be replicated with a Royal Guard Mask (when you need to hit the Portable Hole). Otherwise, all areas currently on the Teleport list can be accessed by foot. Of course, in M8, Meridia is slated for addition to Teleport/Greater Teleport, so that'd be another reason to take the Greater Dragonmark.

I have the full Passage line on Tanka, but he isn't an Intimitank by any stretch of the imagination.
