Face Blocking 101

On 2 caster pulls where they're too far apart to swipe both at once, no LoS, and where dps is too incompetent to assist you can just FFF+charge+mangle+maul one then pull all the melee mobs to the other caster and swipe them down while tossing a FFF or taunt+FFF (if it gets bored of you) at the one you charged until the caster you're currently at goes down then pull the melee mobs back to the original caster.

Swipe is enough to hold aggro on a group of mobs given your dps don't drastically outgear you, that they're attacking one of the two you're also mauling if they're not aoeing, and that you aren't pulling a large amount causing the aoe cap to kick in. (Druids are the only tanks with no aoe unaffected by the aoe cap; Death and Decay, Frost Fever, Blood Plague, Thunderclap, and Consecration are all unaffected by the aoe cap)

With large groups mobs will tend to start pushing each other till some wind up on your flanks where you can't maul them or even behind you which is bad, learn to backpedal or circle around to the opposite side of them as needed.

One question though should I go to def rating trinkets, neck, and rings or just go for dps ones(agility, AP....)?

That's covered in the third segment of Face Blocking 101.

Stats to look for
Look for 2 or more of the following on gear.

Rings/necks/cloaks = bonus armor, abundantly high stamina, defense rating, dodge rating
Leather = stamina, agility
Trinkets = stamina or armor passively and an on use or proc offering more stamina, armor, health, dodge, resistances, or absorption

Be sure to maintain a healthy level of hit/expertise as much as possible while aiming for these.

Aside from a few exceptions, "proper" tanking cloaks and jewelry will be more beneficial in regards to survivability than their equal dps counterparts especially when bonus armor is introduced.
