Up to you. Leveling tank in this game really isn't that bad since the dungeons are all linear, as long as you're careful with your pulls nothing can go wrong (outside of not pressing defensive CDs and your healer being afk). It's obviously easier still to be a DPS since you can die and nothing will really happen (until raiding), so if you don't feel up for going into stuff for the first time as the guy who gets hit a lot then going DPS first might be a good idea. Otherwise, though, you should be fine - watching guides on stuff will really take all the mystery out of the dungeons/Primals/etc so you won't get any huge surprises, at least not from the enemies.
