Tank homogenization

That is the key factor and for the most part outside of early progression most fights do not require more than one source of mitigation to survive the tankbusters. It is not like tankbusters are tuned so that Rampart+Short Cooldown+Divine Benison/Adloquium/Noct Aspected Benefict are all required to survive from full health.

I personally think that the cooldown suites of all the tanks are for the most part fine. My problem is more that pretty much no fight uses even close to 70% of both tanks' mitigation capabilities through attack frequency nor damage.

I mean, Umbra Slash in 10s is spicy, applying the 4 stacks of slashing debuff, there is one that has to be kitchen sinked, and tank buster in 12s door boss, is super spicy damage, TEA, P3 sharing punishing heat, and divine spears require stacking mitigation regardless of early progression. Otherwise, once BiS, when you have no where else to put a freed up cooldown, you might as well leave it where it is if you can't make use of it anywhere else.

But that falls back to the actual problem of fight design, not the actual tanks defensive suite. This is probably the devs biggest failing in regards tanks, is the lack of tank focus in their fight design.

Or, as mentioned by someone in a different thread, they come up with such great tank mechanics as Twisting Blaze in E6s, where you get to stand in a corner and spam your 120-150 potency ranged attack for 10 seconds.

Um.... You literally can face tank it with BIS gear, even the Melee DPS can in 5.2 easily discovered by top tier raid groups. Originally Paladin covered a Melee, pushed on further by having a 2nd melee soak a blast too for major uptime.

Yes, and now read what you said again... in organized groups and BiS gear you can "ignore" the mechanic...which means the intended way for it to be done is have the tanks stand at the edges of the arena, doing nothing, to not cleave the raid to death.
That is simply terrible design for a mechanic, whether or not players figure out a way to simply not do the mechanic as it was intended doesn't matter because SE does not design fights with uptime strats in mind.
