I wouldn't say that. There are fights that use PLD's. There are fights where a COR might be in a tank party as the LS has two COR's available. Now would Healer's, Gallants be a better choice for the Tank over Misers/Chaos? Maybe. I've seen fights where keeping the tank alive was harder than keeping hate. Certainly a tank can improve his offense with gear and food. There's not much great defensive food out there.
Stack -PDT, phalanx, Gallants roll, Scherzo and Healer's roll and you have a pretty strong blood tank. Might be useful somewhere. Maybe for early runs through VW where you don't have temps yet.
I know its very FFXI forum cool to trash everything as "utterly worthless". But I think the better meme is "$hit is situational". Given how rare it is for a mage to kneel for hMP these days, cure potency received that goes above the cap isn't without merit.
