We ARE Tanks!

" don't tank, but make sure your backline is safe " I gotta disagree here, Yan. Sins in PvE CAN tank as long as they aren't the primary tank. As in, you got a warrior to hold the majority of the aggro, and you stay near him and grab all the dudes that get through. See, once Critical Agility came out, which improved the Sin's supposedly crappy armor (70=80-10. Plus, we get 15AL from Nightstalker's), there's been no reason not to stay in battle for as long as needed. We've got great blocks, with high armor (~r6 SS rank for 20AL from CA + Nightstalker's gives you 105AL, more than a warrior vs. elemental damage, and more than a hammer warrior vs. physical damage), and some great survival skills like WoPerfection. No, we're not an uber-tank, but we can hold our own on the frontlines, and we do a helluva lot more damage than any tank warrior out there. And hey, this build is proof of how well we can tank. I use my general MBlossom build (same thing, but with a run skill instead of MR) for farming any melee foes. If a the most powerful general PvE Sin build can also go out and solo areas (not to mantion Shiro), that's saying something about our tankability.
