Dont DNC and THF have generally the same HP/Resistance?I agree, but I've seen Itzpapalotl 1 shot too many THF's to really believe in the job's tanking ability. Fire Break doesn't happen often, but if you're relying on the THF to be the only tank and it's HP gets down to 3% from one attack if your WHM is doing something else (hasting, barfira, something that has to be done) the THF is royally screwed. DNC however, can put fan dance up and cure itself, and in bad situations Violent Flourish saves lives. (Particularly on Briareus and/or any NM that has long 'readying' for their abilities.)
Most NMs that won't really matter though, and THF can do it just fine. Hell THF barely needs utsusemi their evasion is so out the roof, allowing different subs and such. Most can even keep their DD gear on when tanking because of the pure skill/evasion they get before gear.
If a THF is one shotted, so will the DNC in any situation. (unless its a physical move and the DNC already had the Fan-dance or W/E up).
