You're acting as if PLD and WAR are the *only* ways that you could ever implement tanks that don't rely on evasion. "Magic damage mitigation" doesn't really say anything, since magic and physical are just themes, not explicit mechanics and you're talking about mechanical differentiation (if you just mean that it mitigates magical damage, that's a terrible tank because tanks have to be roughly as good at magical damage as they are at physical). DRK could just as easily be a parry tank, from a mechanical vantage point, or even be the evasion tank given the whole "darkness" angle.

Right now we need some kind of buffer & somes DDs.
We're talking about a trinity MMO here. The closest you're gonna get to a "buffer class" is BRD, which is DPS with support. Support is not a role in and of itself; it's a secondary role that they tack on to other roles, like SCH (Selene instead of Eos) or BRD (songs).

As to more DPS, there are *already* 2.5 times as many DPS options as tank options, and we *know* that we're getting Musketeer (likely with Corsair as the job or vice versa), which will put that at 3 times as many DPS as tanks and healers. You *have* to add tank and heal options to keep the ratio anywhere *near* balanced.
