It really is an off tank and fills that role quite well in certain scenarios. It's the same thing for every job in this game, there are certain scenarios that favor one class over another. It's also important to note that MRD doesn't come into it's own until after 40, so at level 8 you're not doing to see the damage output from MRD really at all. Also, I'm not sure how new you are to the game, but based on your level and the fact that you said you chose MRD, I'm guessing you're brand new to the game. Chances are you won't be able to play MRD/WAR in every instance, sometimes you'll need PUG or DRG if you want to stick with being a DD. You really should consider capping every job to get the most out of this game.
