I don't play tank much but isn't cover design mostly to be use on the MT when you are off-tanking ?

10y is long enough. I wouldn't ask for range, no. There have been many situations where I save someone from one thing then when I try to move away to get out of range not to take damage I end up taking it anyways.
If they are meant to be covered and they don't move closer to you, it's on them. People shouldn't stand at max range in the first place. It makes AOE healing less efficient and/or miss important buffs like AoE balance, Battle Litany/Voice, etc.
Not really. Cover is "designed" to take damage instead of someone else. Not necessarily MT/OT thing. What players do with it is just up to them.
For example: You can always cover the healer/DPS that takes the HP down debuff in O11S so you, as a tank, not have the HP down. You can take 2 hits of Atomic Ray easily, even without the 20% reduction from Cover.
In O12S, I don't bother getting second on enmity all the time if it can cause aggro bouncing between me and my co-tank, so I just wait for Target Analysis to target whoever and I cover them to take their beam safely after they take the magic vulnerability.
List can go on.
