Tanks don't need to wear Dragoon armor in order to have competitively equal DPS gear. The only real difference when it comes to my DRG and my Tank DPS gear is my DRG gear has around 30% less Def, and 60% less M.Def naturally (Inverse for BLM/SMN gear) so yes they'd take more damage than they should be taking. Gear homogenization pretty much eliminates the gear deficiencies between classes leaving only the Job/Classes natural Traits, Attributes, and Abilities to differentiate the power of classes. If they are wearing DRG/MNK gear though while tanking, shame on them.
