Not at all. A tank who mitigates properly still has a LOT of durability. Whenever I run stuff with a DRK main friend of mine, I'm always amazed by the fact that he seems to just not take any damage. If anything, the ridiculous sustain of WAR and PLD means they never learn to use their mitigation properly because they don't need to. Then they stumble into something like The Tower of Zot where the adds actually hit decently hard (in leveling gear anyway), and they fall flat on their face because no amount of healing tools can outheal the combo of a tank not using their CDs and DPS not dealing much damage by virtue of having trash gear.

If we must have a tank that requires little skill due to having at on of healing, then let it be one of them. Don't make them all like that, please.
