Dark Knight : Just another mitigation tank

[Altena]

OP is completely ignoring WAR v2.0. Which is exactly what he's asking for, and there's a very good reason it doesn't exist anymore.

A self-healing tank just does not work here. At all. It was tried, it failed.

I actually played WAR in 2.0. Tanking was hard, not because it took skill, but because you would die in anything serious before you could self-heal or the healer healed you, unless you were being SS/Adlo spammed. WAR is so much better than it was (even just counting only 2.x skills) its not funny.

Having a phat HP container with 1 self-healing skill that you can pop roughly every 15-20 secs is not a blood tank.

I also played WAR for coil 1-5 pre-2.1 and while it was a weaker alternative to PLD, our group still managed to clear.
