I'm pretty sure the same difference in DPS output would not let you kill the corresponding dummy.

No, I fully understand that skill gap is way more than just having more or less HP.
The difference is ... you can lose 10k health and still have enough to survive even the current "tank busters" without mitigation. Tanks simply have too much HP right now. In full 320 Fending our PLD has 49k health. If he dropped those for 270 STR acc and lost 10k health, it still wouldn't be an issue because nothing hits that hard so the health isn't needed.
