I LOVE TANKING.
I can understand your concerns though and trust me running with a group of people who are (for the most part) just as new to this as you are, can be a bit intimidating. Â Everyone's learning the pulls, getting a feel for how their class plays, etc.
Rogue DPS get parties killed though and not having a healer also spells disaster. Â It doesn't matter how quick they can knock an enemy out of the field if the next thing they target has already wittled them down to nothing. (or in the case of no healer wittled you down to nothing)
I've been reading up on a fellow RPer here named Sounssy and his tanking guide I feel pretty safe in saying is TOTALLY awesome.

Both classes I think have their strengths and in the end it will all lead to your play style. Â Don't lose heart though! Â If you enjoyed tanking back in FFXI and still want to do it, then just get some experience under your belt and as you learn the pulls and mechanics of the game. Â I haven't even hit the instance stuff yet because I'm trying to figure out which class will suit my play style more. Â So props to you for getting in there and challenging yourself!
