Problem is, the lowest mitigation tank already allows healers to do a fair DPS.
This goes more to the encounter than the tank. It seems like you want more constant damage, more passive mitigation, and less burst healing... Which goes against the very design SE has implemented in pretty much every fight ever.

You also seem to be forgeting that there are two healers and that the majority of the time there is one healer healing and one DPSing. The sheer amount of mitigation it would take for PLD to have to completely negate a healer would be immense. Not to mention that you would then need to seriously buff WAR amd DrK DPS becuase a good SCH with a BRD can put out about 900 sustained DPS....
