LB2 is a Rampart on the entire party and LB3 is 50% reduction which is stronger than Sentinel... and for the whole party.

The main pull of using tank LB is in a situation where you'd otherwise have people dying - IE, as mentioned, Akh Morn with 1 healer. Another use that doesn't get much play anymore is using tank LB in place of a healer CD to allow for a stronger pairing of healer CDs on a later mechanic.

Healer LB also works in these situations but you'll have a much more significant damage loss from needing everyone to die and then be revived (RIP stacks). Healer LB is really only useful for when half your team or more dies and you need them up.
