How do we feel about tank damage right now?

No, not even. GNB has the highest personal dps

2-4% more dps than WAR. That's not enough to completely invalidate WAR's existence.

PLD is the best tank currently because it has more than enough mitigation

Rampart, Shelltron, and Sentinel. It has the worst mitigation out of all the tanks. Yes, it's enough, but that leaves you using only 1 CD per attack, and nothing to mitigate autos. Auto-attacks themselves aren't dangerous enough to need a cooldown, but you're straight up taking more damage than any other tank.
If you're talking about raidwide mitigation, it's unaffected by its own Veil (which requires an Embrace/Afflatus skill to trigger efficiently, might I add) and holding Passage for more than the weave is a big loss. Again, you're taking more damage than any other tank.

Requescat lining up for many points in each fight where tanks would normally have signifcant downtime...

I'll give you that. I was never arguing the opposite though.

WAR meanwhile sure, it has great personal mitigation... but again you ignore this raid tier has many required tank swaps on tankbusters... which means you aren't going to be able to need to use that great personal mitigation when you are only taking 1 tankbuster before swapping...

E1's shared busters, E2's shared busters, E3's shared busters, E4's tank-only stacks. Each fight has had at least one mechanic which targets both tanks simultaneously. Your extra cooldown means you don't need to save Raw Intuition for yourself, and can freely provide mitigation and healing to yourself and your ally. Not insignificant healing either. While DRK and GNB might have to choose between themselves or their cotank because Camo is crap, and Dark Mind doesn't work on physical.

Your self healing litteraly doesn't help if you aren't getting smacked by the boss and vengeance WARs best cooldown has damage tied to it... but you have to get hit to get that damage.

Well it's a good thing that E1S' vuln only lasts for 30s (and comes after 2 double-busters), E2 doesn't have vulns, E3 is always hitting both of you, and E4's vuln lasts for a whopping 10s.
