Drk was a job that appealed to dps, and was made a tank. Sam and Rdm are two of the most wanted new jobs and it wouldn't surprise me if one or both was made a tank. They are still going to appeal to dps classes and are going to be designed for a dps to step into. Instead of making the tank class more enjoyable to play we instead get dps playing a tank class with a dps mentality.
I think that may speak more to how tanking can just be.... boring. I can't speak for everyone, but I'd rather DPS an instance than tank one.
