Fists of Earth, Keen Flurry, Second Wind, Bloodbath, Foresight are all abilities DPS can have that help greatly in sustaining themselves in the unfortunate event they need to OT/subtank because the tank died. I've personally (yes an anecdote) saved more than a few runs with Bloodbath + Doomspike spam as dragoon.
