Does tanking carry more responsibility than most?

My opinion is that it's the easiest job around, ONLY AFTER you learn the fight and the team is entirely comfortable with your positioning and skill rotation.

When learning the fight, it's difficult in the sense you're not sure where to position the boss or what buffs to pop to fully utilise each buff's potential to mitigate just enough of the damage you are about to receive. Once that is over, and after several more successful runs, it will be the easiest job in the world; you could even fall asleep on the job and still get away with it.

Therefore, the first times you do a dungeon it is not that easy job.
Easy dungeons may be easy from the first try for many classes (unlike for the noob tank, a tank that is level 50 other class has a lot of the way done), hard ones have difficulties for all, but tanks good or bad work makes a lot of difference.

Yes that's true. You should also consider how easy it is to obtain written guides and even videos to help you learn the fight. I remember trying the king moogle fight, first ever try and in a group of Japanese who weren't willing to teach. Pulled out a written guide, tanked it perfectly. I know it is an easy fight in the first place, but my point is that it is pretty easy to learn a fight.
