Beef between WAR and PLD tanks

[Marianno]

I've been in multiple 8-man dungeons as a DPS and noticed this. It started slowly and then gradually started to increase. Everytime I'm in a 8-man group with a PLD and WAR tank the PLD feel that most WAR are incompetent at tanking and thus should not be a MT and only good as a OT. I decided to play on my WAR class and noticed this again. I had more HP than the PLD I was in a trail with and this was Titan EX. The PLD tank has 7129 hp and 8637 HP after I eat food but about 8461 hp without food. The PLD wanted to be MT. While I have no problem with PLD being MT I didn't think that he would have survived most ofthe blows dealt to him during the fight. Not that the PLD tank was incompetent or anything but I think the more HP you ahve as a tank the better, or I could be wrong. Most of the members in teh group even wantedthe PLD to be Mt and wanted me to be OT. I understand that WAR OT is good DPS for a tank and can pretty damn OP for a tank if played correctly. However, my question is, Am I wrong for telling the PLD to let me be MT instead and he be OT considering the HP difference and hate difference between us both? What's the grand difference between the two tanking classes?

Note: The PLD tank did have a hard time keeping hate and I turned Defiance off so that he could keep hate but he could not keep hate completely. Not to mention he did get thrashed pretty badly with the mountain busters and did get knocked off the cliff a plethora of times and we did wipe due to this many times. So all in all its just minor mistakes of not anticipating titan's move set that caused that PLD tank to make little mistakes and we wiped.
