A 25% hp shield will break more easily on them.
Idk, single target dps/healer mechanics are balanced to his defense so i think TBN use on them will be proportionally equivalent to a personal/co-tank use so the issue will be the same.

i mean yes, TBN should be used to support you party when you are not actively tanking or you can save someone, but the duration and the strength of the shield limit a lot when and how we can use the shield without losing those 500p, a limit that become more severe depending of how overgeared we are, a thing that don't happen with the other tanks.
