Obviously as a DPS class, your defense is nowhere near that of a tank's and if you can't take hits that well, and are trying to deal out damage at the cost of HP, you're gonna drop dead PREEEETTy fast to random mobs. *looks at chinchillas*
Yah sacrificing your HP to deal damage in XIV is akin to suicide in a lot of fights. DRKs gave healers conniptions in XI when they would pop ALL their cooldowns inc. Blood Weapon. Usually ended with the DRK taking hate off the tank and getting one-shot. They'd have to get more HP than even WAR to be a viable HP-->Damage DPS and at that point you may as well make them a tank.
