    So...I'm going to go out on a limb and agree with OP, just mostly not for the same reasons.

    As tanks, DPS is not our primary concern, but rather an incidental concern to our primary tasks: keeping threat, and surviving. The first is a struggle for new tanks at the moment - it's only now that I have my Eso sword that threat isn't as much of a problem, but the latter is all about our CDs and abilities. The mitigation we get from gear is a pittance compared to what our actions do, so if a tank is doing their job right and using their CDs properly, they will be able to survive Fractal and Neverreap in the HQ questing gear (plus or minus some Law pieces).
