Apart from making them completely overpowered, there's really not much SE can do to attract people towards playing a tanking class. Regardless what abilities they give them, at the end of the day they're going to be a class designed to soak up damage, and to a certain extent, lead the charge into battle. This play style and responsibility just doesn't work for everyone.
...except that I am the kind of player who typically plays a tank in MMORPGs and enjoys tanking. And I think the tanks could be better, because there are parts that are more frustrating than they ought to be as compared to playing a tank in other MMORPGs.
