Why does Warrior AoE have to be so much worse than other tanks?

When I let them encircle me I'm spreading them out? lol, I'm starting to understand how pointless this is, but I'll try one more time.

Think of the ball as a giant circle and yourself as it's center. When the center moves the ball follows it. If the center moves out of a DPS's stationary AoE the ball moves out of the DPS's stationary AoE. If you keep yourself centered in the DPSs AoE then that guarantees that the most enemies possible will be eating it's damage for it's entire duration.

I, as a Black Mage, have to target my AoE spells and it hits everything around that target. I prefer to have an enemy in the middle of the mob pack, so I can target it and hit everything in the pack. If a tank stays in the middle I have to target an enemy on the side - and will not hit the enemies on the other side, because my AoE does not reach that far.
