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.
My only real problem with tanks are the moves that can one shot us if we don't throw up CDs. IMO, Mit CDs should be used as emergency abilities. If my HP drops low, I throw up a CD so the healer has time to heal me back up. As is, a double wicked wheel can one shot a Warrior with over 8K HP if he doesn't have Vengeance/Thrill of battle up and also perfectly time an inner beast. That's just silly.
