When a WHM uses holy and stuns 10 mobs however, that's 1000s of MP that just isn't happening now.

I fail to see why its bad that DRK just happens to get an additional reward from being hit and what point making such an argument has.

No idea why I listed DD... thinking it was evasion base and then thinking it gained evasion from DA. And no tanks do not want to get hit... your job is to control the fight and take as little damage as possible. The best way to do that is never get hit unless you are a Drk because you want to get hit sometimes. If there was a way for a tank to never get hit but still be the target of the critters that is exactly what they would all do (See also: Ninja FFXI).

Bolded: The argument is because Drk is the only tank of the three tanks that has three tools to get out of being hit at all and the only one to directly benefit from being hit (reprisal, low blow and blood price).
