why do you belive dark knight will be a tank and where did you actually hear that we will actually see a dark knight job any time soon?

Why wouldn't it be..? Even in other FF games (Won't mention XI since I know how this community gets) they weren't "tanky" in the generalized sense, but Yoshida is going the more western MMORPG approach with class design, so it's not really the same style FF. So it's not odd to expect it to be a tank class just because of that.

Yeah, but they are a pure DPS class. I would understand it if jobs could fulfill two or more roles, but they are limited to one in ARR. FF series has DK as DPS. Ironically, you actually sacrifice HP to do more dmg. The complete opposite of mitigation/tanking. That would be akin to saying Dragoon could also be a tank.
