Let it be known that I have never used that tiefling because he steals my Aerie... ...
However, I am a big fan of his kit, Blade.
The trick is, not to use him as a melee tank, but as a ranged dual-wielder.
Here's what you do with him... ...
Make sure he has Stoneskin on at all times, also, make sure he has Melf's Minute Meteors casted at all times. Put some nice weapon he is proficient with, in his off-hand. Celestial Fury is one very good option.
He now has 5 attacks per round.
During battles, cast Misled( if you can), then activate Offensive Spin.
He now has 6 attacks per round, and all hits will do maximum damage.
If you have casted Misled, make the illusion sing the Bard Song for additional combat bonuses to the whole party.
The attacks are like this, each round, the really cheesy part is that your off-hand weapon will transform into a ranged attack.
Melf's Minute Meteors, 1st attack,
Melf's Minute Meteors, 2nd attack,
Celestial Fury, 3rd attack
Melf's Minute Meteors, 4th attack,
Melf's Minute Meteors, 5th attack,
Celestial Fury, 6th attack
So just memortise plenty of Melf's Minute Meteors for him, and you are set. One MMM should last you for about 2 combats.

If not a Sorcerer casting total oblivion, then a Paladin meting out justice. Otherwise, I think I will just be a bard and torture my enemies with, "My Heart Will Go On".
