Disagree.

As a tank you must be aware of everything.

Lead the group, make sure all the mobs you grabbed are hating on you despite BLMs dropping bombs on them, protect the casters, deal with DPS who refuse to attack what you're attacking, relying on healers (some of whom aren't very good), Etc

As a BLM my surviveability is considerably lower, but with a good tank I can essentially sit back and burn **** down. They do massive pulls and keep hate on them ALL while I drop Flares like it's nobody's business. They make my job easy as pie. Just go through my rotation and try not to get hit with AoEs.

It's only in the Coils & Extreme Primals, where DPS checks abound, that you REQUIRE high-level production from the DPS.
