No, it would not. Because surviving is cool, but you also need to kill things. And if PLD had even less DPS by stacking defense buffs, the additionnal DPS would only be here to compensate.
You could achieve the same DPS by having two tanks, two healers and 4 DPS than by having 1 PLD, 2 healers and 5 DPS. And if your tank dies, you have no backup tank to fill its spot, even temporarily.

But it's a funny reaction coming from you when you specifically said in another topic that PLD should be the only tank that could pass some mitigation checks...
