That's the beauty of the job system in FF games. You're not bound to one role or class/job. If you're in solo content, you generally don't have to limit yourself. Don't want to level another job? Well that's a personal problem then. If ANYONE took up the tank job and took more than 30sec longer than a DPS to kill a regular mob, you're doing it wrong. Likewise, if you took up a tank and expected competitive output, you're doing it wrong. Think about it from the DPS perspective as well. The risk of death by taking on harder things is quite a lot higher as DPS, compared to a tank. Every role has its pros and cons. Nothing unusual there.
