One tank can have high personal "selfish" dps while another tank can buff the damage of the group and increase damage indirectly. Ultimately they are both contributing the same dps to the encounter. Hey look at that, simple example of how you can have balance without homogenization!
There's 3 tanks. We have covered 2 examples. So maybe DRK can buff party members damage and WAR be the selfish damage dealer. But what about Paladin? One would still be favoured. Call it dumb all you want, but you haven't addressed how to make each of the 3 tanks differently while avoiding homogeonisation. You've only addressed 2 of the tanks.

Simply put, unless you make them all the exact same there will always be one matchup that edges out and the hardcore will swing to it.
