Nice read OP, I'm thinking on starting to tank myself, but I don't really know whether I should go for PLD or WAR. Apparently WAR has an easier time to tank from lvl 1 to ~45, but then gets rejected a lot for endgame content. Is that true or?
DD outnumber tanks and healers. They have their roles to play. It might not seen as critical at times but they are needed just as much.

They each have an advantage and disadvantage. From my experience healing, I prefer paladins. They seem to take the hits better and I don't have to cure bomb them as often. I think they work best vs a single enemy. When fighting multiple enemies I've seen warriors usually handle it better. I'm more likely to run low or out of mp when healing a war vs a pld no matter the amount of enemies. However not all tanks fall into that mold
