Healers are on an overall equal footing and each has something unique to bring to the team, It shouldn't be any different with tanks imo.
the problem is PLD is designed for having the best defense and WAR is designed to have the best dps. and it seems square will go back to this course in 4.2.

DRK should had have the best utility from the very beginning.

but now the best defense tank also has the best utility and the best dps tank has the second best utility. PLD and WAR excell at defense, selfheal and utility over DRK, dps will be adjusted in 4.2 - but there simply is no niche left for DRK except you take something away from PLD and / or WAR. this will not happen. so all we can hope for is make the classes at least equal. Shake it Off was a mistake!
