The reason that this is a problem is that other tanks provide as good, if not better (WAR) mitigation than PLD, while also providing better damage. The thing is, you can't just keep piling mitigation onto a tank because there is only so much that can be done before it is no longer relevant. Making PLD tankier does nothing to address the core problems with the job.

I agree that I don't want "more damage" on PLD, but its mitigation cannot sustain it as a good tank, and something else is needed to bring it in line with the other tanks.
