I suppose that's your opinion - "lol."

I jump on WAR, GNB and PLD consistently and my hotbars are nearly the same. Sure, GNB has more button spammage at times, but the general idea is the same across all tanks. Spam rotation, build gauge ( MP on DRK, Beast Gauge on WAR, Cartridges on GNB, Atonement charges on PLD). All their mitigation is pretty much the same with different names. AOE spammage is 1-2 with occasional gauge/MP/cartridge spammage for 3 tanks. 3 of the 4 tanks have a short duration, short recast mitigation ability. DRK has a short recast shield instead.

Sure, someone that is "pro" at a particular tank probably squeezes out 5% more damage than a journeyman tank. In reality though, there's not much to switching between tanks. Players that spend a few minutes lining up their hotbars could just randomly pick a tank, DF/PF and do just fine.
