In fact, Samurai class actually doesnt fit in neither, DPS or Tank roles, is more of a very balanced class, usually has more evasion than vitality, usually has good DPS but no one near pure DPS classes and also has support skills, even movement skills. And is really uncommon, actually really few characters in FFs fit in the samurai role since it is more a jack-of-all-trades class, Cyan and Auron are both "samurai" and they are very diferent.
Okay, I must be a little more clearly appear. My point is: The definition of a job may change over time. Samurai was a defender in XI, despite he was an obvious DPS in his first appearances.

Who cares if the Dark Knight is a tank? There are plenty of examples out there for HP-absorbing and sacrificing tanks and so he still fits very well into the scheme. I mean, who cares, apart from those who want to see in XIV only a graphics update to XI.
