Titan egi is fine to tank with, too many people try to just SMN him with VIT accs which means you are gimping his emnity generation. So far i've tanked all of the primals with him (ramuh pre update) and did just fine with the normal party compo minus the tank. The only primal is havent managed successfully tank is Shiva, ifrit ex, Ramuh post update, havent tried SCOB or FCOB yet. For a SMN pet that is pretty ridiculous. It would be nice if he had a provoke, AOE skill, or more def CDs. But if he becomes too good, you are gonna piss off part of the player base unnecessarily.

It's a nice idea, but a grp are unlikely to take a SMN who is going to use Titan to alleviate some stress/pressure unless it means dropping an actual tank to bring another DPS. You either have titan good enough to replace a tank, able to pick up adds in midst of a fight which also means dealing with summoning MP issues, or he is not going to be worth it.

Garuda needs a buff full stop, she is weak.
