Paladin vs Warrior - ARR better set roles!

[Starlord]

Only thing I can think of never seeing a war tank is like Khimera or something...

Raven? seen a war tank it
Moogle? seen a war
Garuda? War
Ifrit? War
Miser? War
Story Missions? War
Job quests? War

what am I missing here?
Is there something where War is IMPOSSIBLE to tank?
Serious question here.

This is why there needs to be a noticable difference between PLD and WAR, because they are the same practically in terms of Def and there high damage makes them hold hate good. I know PLD can do all those things too.. but with War have High Damage= Faster kills why would people pick PLD over WAR?

Then again, in order to facilitate a game that has more than one tank, which a good MMORPG has, the only difference there should be between warrior and paladin is the powers they use to get the same job done. EX: Paladin doesn't do a lot of damage with the sword alone, but with holy augmentation can match that of warriors. Same with their HP and blocking ability. XIV Warriors are like WoW's Death Knights, without the death. They are 2h tanks, and should get some boost to their parry abilities. All in all, somehow these two tanks and every tank that comes after them should have little to no difference in what they can tank, they just use their own powers to get the job done. And I think all hybrid style classes should just die by fire.
