Also, if you're tanking solely to CONTROL a fight, you're doing the BARE MINIMUM. Git gud.

Exactly. WoW tanking in raids was basically, "Stand here, then move. Now move again. Are you bored?! THEN DPS!". In FF14, your tank damage actually matters.
Dropping your tank stance when you are getting murdered by a boss in savage to do more dps does not feel right. Think what you want of it but did not roll a paladin to be sacrificing my mitigation for dps.
