Melee is hard in this v1.3 incarnation of POE. Tanks are harder -- and often have low DPS. You will still die if you aren't careful. Don't expect to be able to facetank like I've done in my vids (some are tweaked builds and are from older versions of POE where melee was much stronger) -- there is always RNG that can nail you. If you want it easier, go ranged, low-life crit and walk away... ;) You have been warned. I recommend starting the game with other builds, get the feel for the game, etc, before jumping into melee tanking (unless you are a glutton for punishment). You really need great gear to be okay (versus other builds which are great with much less spend)
