Just to quickly chime in: I don't think this statement is accurate. MNK already behaves like a DPS that's like a tank, hence it should not be surprising that of all the tanks, there is one that behaves quite like a DPS. I'm much more careful of dueling GNBs than SAMs, and honestly every SAM I've seen who try to initiate the first round of fighting always dies. Obviously though, a suicidal charge is not a bad tactic in the opening: you make the enemy team waste all their crowd control on you and you're only down 10s. But I digress.
