I play as a Jedi Sage using the Telekinesis tree (damage and a little crowd control).
My character cannot take much damage because of the light armor and the endurance values.
So I'm using Qyzen as a tank. But he does not have many more hitpoints than my character. I used to equip him with armor with high endurance values but replacing them with high aim values was a good idea as he dealt much more damage (aim is his primary attribute) and he seemed to live longer.
The char is lvl 38 now but I have difficulties with lvl 35 mobs. When they beat Qyzen and are on to my character, I mostly die.
What can I do now to increase Qyzen's toughness? Should I change back to "endurance-armors" or should I try to increase his armor value? Are there other possibilities?

For tanking, you should equip Qyzen with a Shield Generator in the offhand, and Heavy Armor with Aim and Endurance. Value Endurance over Aim and if you can get some other defensive stats, grab those, although that doesn't really matter too much around your level. Do make sure whatever equipment you give is near your level though, don't let him run around in level 20 gear.
Then expand the companion Quickbar and make sure all his abilities are enabled (right-click) and that he's using Trandoshan Regeneration (his defensive stance) instead of Combat Stance (offensive).
