No, it's not at all like Dragoon weaving Life Surge; Reaper weaving Arcane Circle, and so forth.

Sarcasm aside. Tanks are quite literally DPS that can sponge hits. We could just as easily have any one of the DPS kits and still perform our role in the exact same manner. Case in point, Dark Knight has a much "busier" opener than most DPS. Paladin needs an entire spreadsheet to properly align its rotation. It's almost as though pressing CDs for tank busters isn't actually very difficult. Likewise, giving healers some measure of DPS like they had in Heavensward or Stormblood won't make them suddenly overwhelming when the 90% of their casts are on a single button.
