LOTRO makes driving a tank easier than most other games, in my opinion, once i configured it to my liking. When I use Turn to target, under combat options, it only turns when I use an attack skill. So use X to toggle continuous turn to target, like eq2. IIRC Backspace is the default Target the nearest Badguy anywhere 360°.
Edit: After I got home from work, I went to verify the hotkeys and the advice I gave. Backspace is the "Select Nearest Foe" key, under Keymapping, Selection. It even works when the foe is behind. X does toggle Target Lock-on, but the tank turns too slowly for me to rescue a minstrel when the bad guy runs past. And Target Lock-on does not make me run toward the target. Not good enough so my prefered method is to turn on "Enable Movement Assistance in Combat," near the bottom of Combat Options. When I use a melee skill, like Shield-Blow, the tank turns very quickly and runs to the mob. I have a habit of pressing Backspace, then spamming Shield Blow when a mob breaks to run past.
