Even with a tank. When things get hairy, you can't rely on the tank to have every single mob going after him. I've seen PT's fall apart many a time when one too many mobs gets linked, or two mobs pop when you're already fighting 4-5. A DD who can't soak up a couple of big hits for 30 seconds is a liability.
