Presumably, the fact that there's tankswaps in fights, and a OT focused tank with few selfdefensives and many 'cover the ally' defensives, would struggle to survive if they had to tank a boss for a while due to tankswap debuffs. So yeh, that one's not a great example.

Something like 'they left NIN DRG BRD MCH as the absolutely best comp for way too long' in end of HW/part of SB, now that's something more like 'heels dug in'. They could have changed MNK to piercing type, to give at least a choice between a DRG and MNK for one of the slots, but nope
