Unless you think using equilibrium at full HP is a good idea, in which case you shouldn't even take part in this discussion. You also do not use shake it off on cooldown as a personal defensive ability. These stats are near worthless, no ifs ands or buts.
It also fails to take into account how mitigation affects shields, because % mitigation will make shields even stronger whereas it has no effect on cure potencies.

There's legitimate things you could point to as evidence for buffing this job or that, but these stats are not them. Rework living dead, buff oblation or TBN, rework blood weapon, all of these are valid complaints. But "whoah look at how much shield and heal ppm all the other tanks have!" is not valid because that's just not how the game works at all.

It would be like pointing out how high some dps job bursts within the first 10 seconds of an encounter and calling for nerfs just based on those metrics when in actuality it's damage output levels off and is within range of everyone else once you get past those 10 seconds.
Yes, everything you say is 100% true and it's even pointed out in the Reddit thread but you are missing the main point.

That being "WAR is the best, DRK is the worst"

And that's all people here need to believe it as gospel.
