Sure it is... grab a 2h and start wacking.
waronlinebuilder.org - Chosen build
If you're too squishy, get better gear and switch out your tactics for more defensive ones. I personally never run 2h but if I did... it would be something like this.

I would say its not... block is too much to lose for tanking direct hits and guard dmg.

I dont like it the entire purpose of 2h chosen is to slot oppressing blows and crippling strikes and stack some crit and try to apply crippling strikes and challange to try and constantly debuff the enemy dmg
But if you go 2h chosen you loose access to destined for victory which is perhaps one of the most powerful tactics in the game along with 50% parry from mixed defenses and suppression
im not a fan of 2h chosen

If you're going for spreading crippling strikes while still functioning as a tank you need to max parry and keep suppression up. You'll maintain mediocre defenses versus casters due to your resist aura.
I prefer this over the spec linked above:

Because you get slightly better ravage and resist auras.
Something like this for renown spec:

Tzeentch's Amplification is a really nice morale for self-survivability.
I run about 40% crit (my +20% and their usual +20% from initiative) and never really have problems keeping it up.
Something underrated about Crippling Strikes is that it's a great cleansebait. It's almost permanently up, it eats AoE cleanses from WP and allows you to keep your snare on your target. Just think of all the WoPs you'll save!

No doubt, it's just that Chosen can't get that yet.

I tried it in the most defensive spec possible sad to say you won't be tough enough to live through being focused and that's pretty essential for a tank. Your just to squishy in the current gear.
