    What Warrior really needs is to do the most damage of any tanks, but not by a little bit, it should be significant.
    WAR, the most damage
    PLD, the most defense
    DRK, The option to use their shadow energy for a lot of defense or to do a lot damage
    GNB, Medium damage. Option for high self healing or high defense

    These are excellent suggestions...for a game that provides the depth for them. FFXIV is not that game. Because it's dps-centric, the first one out the door is GNB in this scenario. WAR would always be requested, with DRK right behind it. PLD would be an instance-to-instance job case.

    EDIT: I forgot to mention that this is for ex/savage pf parties, since you can't control who you get in DF. Nonetheless, I'd expect the general populace to groan every time they'd get a pld or gnb in their party.

If you're capable of healing DRK back in ShB (or any tanks), then you'll heal EW DRK just fine.

    PLD would be what RdM was before the buffs and still is for many parties: training wheels.
    Once prog time is over, WAR/ DRK would be standard. Why bring a tank with stellar defense or self heal if it's overkill and doesn't save your healers GCDs?
