Hmm.. Tank armor has Strength stats, and you can wear DPS jewelry. The difference is stat point allocation, even if you went full STR on allocations, there's 40-50 points of strength that MNK/DRG get.

I favor a new job role to make up the difference in stat points, not *another* rework for WAR. Unless they give us Rampart XD, but that's a whole other discussion.
