Tanks are short in every holy trinity mmo. It's never going to change. I tank on a paladin in this game and I love it. It's not a role for everyone, and no change is going to make that different.
Tanks aren't really in short supply in the world's most popular MMO. What did they do to accomplish this? They made them deal more DPS than a DPS dealer, made them nearly indestructible, removed all concern for threat management, and removed the bulk of responsibility for raid scripts.

While I don't think FFXIV has to take such lengths, I do feel tanks in this game are singularly responsible for creating or preventing wipes and that needs dealt with.
