How do Armsmen spec for both Tank and DPS roles in PVE?

I'm looking to spec my Armsman for versatility in PVE.

So I can tank for the group or switch to pole arm if needed.

Say for example, I'm level 21.

Could I go?:

18 Slash
18 Polearm
15 Shield

Is that too little shield in order to be an effective tank?

How should I spec?

I'd recommend going way higher in shield to make you an effective "block-bot" too. You wont lose much damage for the times you need to go pole dps anyways.

Level 30 (group/hybrid)
29 Shield
25 Polearm
18 Weapon

If you want that small extra bit of damage or want to be a little more efficient solo, respecs are free

Level 30 (solo)
29 Polearm
25 weapon
18 Parry

There is really not much reason to spec into polearms while leveling. Keep your weapon and shield about equal until you get 39 weapon and 42 shield then pump your polearm. You'll appreciate the awesomeness of your polearm even more after doing the blockbot grind
