Evasion tanking is almost always unintended, such as the case of ninja in FFXI, and is utterly unreliable which makes it undesirable as a tank in high end content. It always ends up either completely op or utter crap, all due to the rng nature of it.
Can a tank have evasion as an aspect of their mitigation arsenal, sure just like block or parry, but basing a tank on it is a bad idea.
I was thinking more like a Riftstalker in rift. It has some "damage reduction" cool downs but it also relies on evasion quite a bit. In addition, it could raise its defenses through its tanking stance but it would be slightly lower than a plate tank. It could take hits, just not as well.
