Warrior - moved to the melee dps role.
There, tanks can finally be balanced and cool in different ways again.

WAR was capable of tanking or being an all rounder in FFXI as well. DRK is the confusing one. We went from being a cool DPS in FFXI to being a tank with a messy gauge + mana system and TBN which hasn't had an update since it was released (none of the other tank equivalents are tied to a resource w/a CD combined, and the other tanks now have a healing aspect tied to theirs with a barrier and/or reduction in dmg).
DRK needs a rework and no tank would be switched to DPS. Too many people wouldn't be happy.
Don't compare the two game too much... I mean... Ninja on FFXI....was trasnformed into a Tank by players XDWAR was capable of tanking or being an all rounder in FFXI as well.
