I had a Paladin in an Ifrit HM tell me to tank because they had better gear to stun with. I only laughed and tanked the boss. I had a better weapon, and better gear than they did. I have some it so many times I didn't even care. Ironically, they ended up missing most of the eruptions anyhow so the group dissolved.
Gratz on the AK win. I beat AK with full AF and a LvL 40 weapon and shield. So you can do it under geared as a tank but the tank and healer will be strained and the team needs to play smart. There was an awesome BLM that slept mobs and explained fights. We had a few healers because the healer had to work pretty hard.

Also, the weaker geared tank should stun HM Ifrit because you want the geared tank to be taking the hits. So the Paladin in Ifrit HM you had was right that they had better gear to stun with (even though yours was superior).
