Description
Block, shove, and taunt everything. Use Loyal Protector constantly. Throw rocks at snipers and mutants. Rumbler bosses and ogryn conga lines.
Damage output of a coughing baby, damage resistance of an M1 Abrams with a ton of team buffs to boot.
Your job is to peel threats away from and save downed teammates, get rid of disablers, block everything, and do not die. Pained Outburst should give you an insurance policy against dogs but watch out for trappers. Rocks are non-optional for this build unless you want to get thrown around by muties constantly.
If the punishing lack of damage is a serious issue for you, consider swapping Go Again! for Valuable Distraction. I personally prefer the cooldown reduction since you'll be pushing everything all the time anyway. Also, you can replace Too Stubborn to Die with Hard Knocks, which should give a decent boost to damage (plus, you'll get No Pushover for the trade which is good too).
Also, Won't Give In is relatively controversial at higher difficulties. You can consider swapping it for Strongman or Simple Minded.
