But I was under the assumption people were taking all of this into account.

And the game is still new, as the game progresses, and gear and food options become more potent, this will compound more and more. In all the mmorpg that I have played in the past, it always come down to the tank with the highest HP becomes the most prominent tank- especially after they get "balanced" to have equal "damage mitigation" as their defensive counter-parts
