Hmm, not necessarily. Some moves are specifically designed to take enmity, while others are not. Flash does this without doing damage, and can even be used when an enemy is asleep without waking it. Healers can end up tanking on accident without ever attacking an enemy. As you said, enmity and DPS are tied, but they are not the same thing. A tank can (and should) come back with DPS lower than that of an actual DPS because increased enmity generation is already built into some of their moves.

I think a bigger focus on moves designed to take and hold enmity rather than output DPS as a means of controlling enemies would encourage people to explore alternative builds rather than going for a raw DPS build.
