So which is it? DPS or Utility?

These aren't mutually exclusive. You could have a technical job with slightly higher DPS or utility

I think NIN/PLD fit into the description fine. More is required of them for the party than what's required other jobs, on top of physically having more buttons to press, but that doesn't stop them from being popular or desirable.

But all that is an aside. What I'm suggesting is to add a "technical" tank job, if we are going to call it that, instead of drastically changing the current paradigm. Players should have more options, we don't have to make everything the same watered down mush.
