Sure I can tank horoth on my barb with 900 odd hp and 10% + 10% + 20% +30 % +30 % heal amp with the hate gen armour too but give me a good ac to take the job anyday because they have better ac and therefore better damage mitigation if they can hit that limit. In a pinch these sort of tanks are fine to thow out there to use but seriously just because people have achieved great hate generation does not make you a tank which many do not see. At least your build has very good damage mitigation and I would see it as being the best current tank type for eChrono which currently has no relevant AC use.

Edit: Basically if you are in a situation where AC actually works ie TOD elite, why would you expect to be tank over someone who can hit a high AC and other damage mitigation of shield mastery etc if they can maintain agro? You dumped your AC for meatbag tanks style with 25% from incorp. Don't get me wrong this can work in a pinch just like any barb (though imp evasion is very nice) but is hardly ideal anyway.
I am totally for migrating my threat generation toward 0% and bumping more dps output and letting the shiny shield tanks step in. I want, so very badly, for S&B tanks to be #1 tanks, except for the possible off-tank position where improved evasion handles specifically designed bosses.

Man, I would LOVE to have a Dwarven Defender tanking stuff.
