by Build
Lvl 10-14: Devouring Touch (Depravity) - taking this early on will help with survivability
Lvl 15-19: Blighted Touch (Desecration) - this will improve your dps in any stance.
Lvl 20-24: Covenant of Arms (Desecration) - and some more dps.
Lvl 25-32: Pact of Malcador (Desecration) and Crystallized Ether (Depravity) - in this lvl range, each time you get feat points, alternate between the 2 feats. PoM will give you extra dps and CE will help with mana.
Lvl 32-37: Recovery (General) - at this level you'll start heading into group dungeons so the extra health regen comes in handy.
Lvl 38-41: Vigor Leech (Depravity) - need to start going deeper into Depravity and stamina leech is always useful.
Lvl 42: Ether Leech (Depravity) - mana leech sets us up for...
Lvl 43-45: Soul Barrier (Depravity) - one of the key assets for a DT. By this point we have good mana regen and mana leech so we can use SB for tanking or PoM for DPS. Not ideal to use both at once though as the mana drain will overwhelm you.
Lvl 46-54: Iron Skin and Stone Skin - again, alternate between these; both will help you survive better...and will be nice for when you enter Cistern and Main System at 54ish.
Lvl 54-59: Dark Hand (Depravity) - a nice feat this one. Does damage and heals as well...
Lvl 60: Seal of Choas (Depravity) and Cunning Deflection (General) - Aoe aggro skill that'll come in handy for Ampitheatre...and a nice damage reflection skill for tanking.
Lvl 61-64: Dissipate Ether and Incinerate Ether (Depravity) - some more dps via these 2 feats from Mystical Bane.
Lvl 65-69: Solid Pestilence (Depravity) - as you head into lvl 70, mobs will become harder...this feat will help when you need to tank with it's extra armour and Seal of Yog healing.
Lvl 69-70: Corrupt Weapons (Desecration) - some more dps as you hit 70...
Lvl 71-75: Cabalistic Hunger (Depravity) - Adds a magic health tap zone to Leech Life.
Lvl 75: Curse of Gwahlur (Depravity) - You'll be heading into some of the nicer dungeons (AF, Onyx) so this will help with tanking - the dmg and heal it does is low but provides nice hate generation.
Lvl 76-78: Consuming Bulwark (Deprarvity) - adds a heal to both Defensive Stance and Seal of Chaos.
Lvl 78-80: Blighted Soul (Desecration) - adds aoe to Blighted Touch which will help with aggro in Onyx and AF.[hr][/hr]Using this build will give you experience in some of the key tanking feats a DT has you level and will prepare you for raiding (this can be used for raiding at T1 but needs tweaks for T2 and beyond).
I'll also be posting a DPS DT levelling build for those who want to look at that route
