Its completely possible to do all of that realisitcly, and dont tell me you cant, because a human can lift a 2000lbs boulder; crazier shit has happened.
Realistically, yeah you can do it. It's for the sake of balance I believe. Each of the tank classes (gonna throw PGL in there as an example anyway, you can tank for like 3 seconds) has two damage mitigation moves.

PLD = Block and Evade
WAR = Parry and Evade
MNK = Evade and Parry

To me at least, this makes sense. If Paladin has access to all three, it would throw of the balance. I think what they should do is making blocking actually matter. I would also be okay with Block and Parry instead of Evade.
