Tanking requires a certain amount of faith in your healers. Your job is to help them by correctly anticipating damage. Not to do their job for them. Even if you look at examples of lifesteal done well (i.e. Death Strike), there's still a timing element associated with reversing the damage taken. If you can heal yourself back up at will, it just encourages sloppy play for the both of you.

I've said this before, but the way things are going, tanks will eventually become so strong that the only damage on tanks that will matter is one-shot mechanics. And then, and only then, players will finally realize that tanking is irrelevant.
