More or less yes.

Tanks DO set the flow and run the tactics. But not the strategy.

For 4-person content yeah, the tank is basically the leader. For more complex content that requires a a wider plan, the 'raid lead' is best chosen from whoever has the most experience. The position best able to be this leader is usually a healer - except a LOT of people play healers because they falsely see it as a sit in the back half AFK role... so while the role is the natural leader position (a good healer has to be aware of EVERYTHING going on in the fight), the typical healer player is the worst possible choice to lead...

That said if you're in a static and you have a skilled healer - you will benefit a LOT by training them to be a raid leader.
