I'm almost certain Yoshi told us it is a tank pet.

Carby is a decent tank at low levels, and although it's usually not a good practice to draw conclusions from low level experiences I'm wishful that SMN will not only be able to help off tank in certain occasions which will add that much more utility to SMN but be a strong solo class as a result of their pet's tanking capability (Titan at least). Simply the ability to be able to heal your pets in FFXIV vs. FFXI is a huge difference that lends to their survivability.

Here is where Yoshi himself states Titan Egi's role in Live letter VIII

Sustain has been incredibly helpful. Especially with Topaz and solo quests.
