On one hand I really like the ability to be able to soak up a bit of damage as a dragoon and potentially save the group a wipe by tanking an out of control add or keeping a boss busy if the real tank is killed. Just yesterday I ran Dzemael Darkhold and managed to tank the boss for the twenty or so seconds needed to finish it off after the actual tank died.
On the other hand, though, I can totally understand where people are coming from when they say they don't really need to be able to tank properly. I'd hate to see a scenario similar to certain classes in MMO's such as WoW where certain classes can do everything to a ridiculous state of efficiency.
