I only ever leveled it at all because of the Dragoon job requirements, but after learning I'd want Mercy Stroke for my dragoon endgame repertoire, I figured I'd shoot past level 26 and at least start working on qualifying for Warrior...
Tanking FATES doesn't teach you how to tank dungeons. It teaches you to grab aggro but not maintain it for multiple targets. Many starting tanks know to use an AOE aggro on the initial pull, the problem is that they forget to do it after the initial pull. By the time they get to the third or fourth target a healer or arcanist with Bane has pulled aggro. Additioanlly, FATE grinding doesn't teach you the rotation to optimize hate when you have DPS that hit really hard.
