I think "focuses" is a tricky word. Yes, it's the main goal of the tank, but it's also its most basic role. So, again, if you don't offer something else, you'll always be less interesting.

Technically, if Blind really affects the ability, it means that there is an Accuracy check. So, there is a slight chance that you could dodge the ability, even without Blind. Since most of physical abilities can be parried or blocked, we can assume that the parry/block check are rolled, and thus that the Accuracy check is not bypassed. If we never saw a Dodge on physical buster, maybe those buster have an accuracy bonus so high that you ensure 100% hit. This way, Blind could help mitigate lower hits, without trivializing tank busters.

It's only because you'd think pacification would be overpowered, which I don't really agree on, but...why not.

Well, I wasn't really debating on your point. It just reminded me that PLD is the only tank whose most debuffs can be fully resisted after a while. So, even our situationnal utility is further weakened...
