So, it's very much the perfect stat booster for tank roles. He main tanks everything he can.

But only if you want to actually play like a tank and not a DPS with good defense like meta enforces.
Like Tridus said above, there simply isn't any reason to play defensively. Your friend may be a solid tank but if someone else can achieve the same results while contributing 500+ more DPS, well, what's the point?
