    Yea lets scrap that because we have no idea what the intended use is. (besides the obvious)
    CC can very likely be tanked on WHM. With the abilities WHM has access to it is a very beefy class. If I shot a video of this, would that make you happy? Would you then accept that simply assigning a role based on what SE thinks my job should be, but turns out I can play it different, is kind of a pointless piece of information (which would also be incorrect). Your argument is quite weak here.

    Anyhow, how about tanking Ifrit as THM (not intended as a tank right? See below) I've also done Uraeus, Great Buffalo, and Ifrit on CNJ. That doesn't change the fact that under a new system those classes would be defined as a Caster and a Healer.

    SE is notorious for designing a class to do one thing which players then find a way around. In some cases, even a better way to envision the job (NIN tank, RDM tank, etc.).

    You can feel limited and insecure or w/e you want about being told what each job's role is via a letter, but it won't change the fact that WHM isn't a tank, PLD isn't a DD, MNK isn't a healer, WAR isn't a caster and DRG isn't a buffer.
    I'm not saying it is as vast as this. It certainly is not. However just about any class with a taunt, cures, and some defensive abilities can tank in this game. Other jobs are quite defined yes, but WHM is not, and WAR is not and those are the ONLY two jobs I mentioned in my post!
