My Templar isn't really a tank but I can get some amazing single-target solo going on with a massive stack of health regen effects. I've soloed tier 3 public dungeon bosses in Veteran zones with this, so you know it works

Going into a tough solo battle I'd prepare my restoration staff skill bar to have the following:
- Force Siphon -> Quick Siphon: Hitting the enemy gives me 80 health for 20 seconds, low cost, no cast time.
- Regeneration -> Either morph: Easy heal over time.
- Cleansing Ritual -> Extended Ritual: Light area heal over time (22s when maxed out) but what we're really here for is the Templar passive that increases incoming healing while in the area by 30%.
- Entropy -> Degeneration: 15% chance on hit to heal back the damage you did to the enemy, pretty good.
Now you're ready to fight! Make sure you've fitted out your damage line with some CC abilities (preferably Stamina-based) since you're not going to be able to take the boss down in 20 seconds. I use two-handed so Uppercut fills that role. Basically you want to try and mitigate too much damage to yourself through blocking and interrupts (a lot of public dungeon bosses/world bosses will 1-shot you given the chance). When your regens run out (20 seconds or so) you'll want to immediately CC them to give yourself a bit of room to switch weapons and recast all your abilities.
