Royal Menagerie actually does have a min ilvl requirement, and it's set at i280, so the tank met the minimum requirements; this sounds more like Shinryu being harder than a lot of people expect (especially for newcomers) and some tank incompetence rather than gear issues. The other story trials (Pool of Tribute, Emanation, etc.) should definitely have min ilvl requirements, though. And the rest of your points are spot on.
