Samurai tank is an awful idea. My prediction is it will be the new dps in 3.4 if the trend continues. Samurai is meant to dps not tank.

Now that DRK is confirmed as a tank i can tell you with 90% certainty that SAM will be dps just like FFXI except this time they will make it a dps on purpose which only makes me more excited at what they will turn out with.
Its not that there is a lack of tank jobs... its just a lack of people who want to take control...
"Try not. Do or do not. There is no try."
Samurai should've been released as a tank class along with Ninja DPS in 2.4, imo. Goes along with Doman far east culture, and these queues wouldn't be 80+ minutes.
No, DRK tank is an awful idea. Even on XI, Samurai had Heigan, Mind's Eye, and some of their gear even had parry on it. I've OT'd on my SAM many times, pre-Abyssea. DRK were as squishy as a clothie with no damage mitigation. They were pure DPS, sick DPS if played right. Dark Knight...the DPS class iconic for sacrificing their health to do a shit-ton of damage to you.
From other people's point of view, I look like a monster. I'm a stupid woman who imagines she can create a happy life by piling up her sins
