'Thinking outside the box' isn't sadly a universal idea here.
I've done both in a pinch, though SMN is the only one that held the role for more than a single engagement. ((I think our Tank fell asleep in the darkhold, so the additional enemies offed the healer before we could do anything about it. I basically held the fight by myself till the Healer could return.

On topic, I wouldn't mind a Lancer based Tank Job.
