    "Most of the damage"? Except for raid-wide AoEs and AoEs people are supposed to move out off, you're supposed to take all the damage.
    That is your role as a tank: Draw the attention of all mobs onto you, take all the damage they're dealing and make sure your DPS and healer can focus on their buisness without being disturbed by mobs.

    Edit: To add to this: Melee-DPs like Dragoon, Ninja, Samurai and Monk have certain skills that need to be performed from a certain direction - that can only work if the mob doesnt move, aka: if a tank keeps it still. Attacks from mobs can interrupt casts - which is very bad for casters and healers. Ranged DPS is kinda squishy, so they dont want to deal with mobs either. Thats why its so important that a tank picks everything up, keeps it still and aggro on him. (And yes, you can finish dungeons without a tank, healer or dps missing - but that always means that the rest of the party steps up. And if every role is present, why should we find workarounds instead of expecting everyone to actually perform their given role?)
