I wonder why we haven't seen that more
DRK - dreadspikes, drain
MNK - guard, dodge, chakra, hp boost
SAM - seigan/third eye
THF - high evasion and perfect dodge

Could go on..

Conclusion - DD have damage mitigation/avoidance abilities doesn't mean they are designed to be a tank. And for the record, in today's ff11 MNK is used as a tank most of the time lol
