I've seen tanks die plenty. Do I live in an alternate universe? To base your estimations only on the things that happen around you is to greatly underestimate the total number of things that happen. Of course it happens less with a good healer and a good tank. Congrats, you're evidently a good healer!

If the minimum ilvl requirement is 65, that means that the fight is doable at that level if everyone plays their class optimally. The problem is, the average player only plays at 50-70% efficiency, thus ilvl80 becomes the "average ilvl that people clear the fight with". I consider overgearing the point at where you can bypass mechanics. Such things would be not doing a triangle pull because the tanks can survive anyway or not feeding any slimes at T1 Caduceus because you can burn it down regardless. I will continue to consider any tank that can take double wheel to the face overgeared until I see an i65 tank take it and survive reliably.
