Let's see if my memory serves me well.
My main character (PLD) leveled up with only main quest and the rest was through dungeons. I got exactly zero piece of tanking gear from Toto-Rak. IIRC I entered it at level 26, stopped running it at level 28. No tanking drops at all. Note that this was my first character, during the launch week rush, so no rested, no bonuses except the 3% food bonus. I remember Toto-Rak was when I started to feel the "grind"---when you stare at the exp bar and wish it would move faster so you can leave this dungeon once and for all.
My secondary character (30PLD, 30WAR) got both the weapons but again no tanking gear at all for bringing 2 classes through Toto-Rak. This character was also leveling without FATEs, so quite enough runs of Toto-Rak.
My throwaway character (30WHM) that I have since deleted, got 2 pieces from Toto-Rak.
In general I felt that Toto-Rak was a gear gap for me. Every time I enter Haukke I'd be wearing mostly Halatari gear plus some level 15 green gear.
For the first class/job that one levels up, though, the main quest always provides at-level quest rewards for the 6 main slots (left-hand side) before sending us into a new dungeon, so it shouldn't be a problem.
But back on topic, Toto-Rak indeed is a very depressing dungeon to farm. To few drops with too much trash. I'd love it if all the coffers at least get a good chance of giving ethereal gear.
In general the dungeon coffers that don't offer ethereal gear are all very disappointing. For example the Stone Vigil coffers. Stone Vigil is another place where I've had little to no luck in getting tanking drops. I have a 50 and a 45 now, both of them were still wearing level 30/35 cavalry/ethereal gear when I replaced them with my AF pieces.
