Next Tank Job?

Problem with Ninja Tank is that Ninja was never intended to be a Evasion Tank. Ninja was intended to be a DPS Job but due to bad design it failed at being a DPS and some person just discovered how to use Ninja skills for tanking needs.

Most likely Ninja will be DPS in FF14ARR

I already know this. It doesn't change the fact that people ENJOYED playing NIN tanks and FFXIV is for the players after all. So I could see SE putting NIN in a DPS role: a lot of players expect this and for some it would be desirable, it's what they intended in FFXI originally, and it thematically makes sense OR a tank role: a lot of players might still enjoy this, it's what NIN ended up being in FFXI, and it might encourage more people to play tanks. So I agree that NIN will probably be a DPS but it would be understandable and totally unsurprising if they made it a tank class. I personally am 50-50 on it. I enjoyed NIN tanking in FFXI but I doubt it would work much like it did in FFXI and who knows if it would still be fun to tank on NIN if they changed it too much?

I appreciate the idea, but a tank that can't get any abilities off because they're in a constant state of interruption probably wouldn't work too well.

Your tank stance could just as well confer immunity to interruption, you know. That's assuming you don't just give it instant spells instead. Regardless, it would free you from the need for THM as one of your cross-class jobs, leaving you to do GLA and something else.
