The problem with this argument is that "surviving" is more or less pressing one or 2 buttons every couple of minutes. There's no real way to survive better beyond using appropriate CDs at the time required. Once you have that figured out all that's really left is optimizing damage, since tanks in this game are, in fact, designed to be more than mere meat shields or threat bots.
