Sir, speaking as a ranger, I ask you the same question.

If you're a min-maxer (the server is full of them), then no, a ranger isn't ever going to tank good enough for you. Can a ranger hold aggro right alongside a SK and take hits if they have to? Yes. Will it tax the healers mana more? Yes. Are they efficient tanks compared to plate classes? No. If you can't find a War/SK/Pally will a ranger or bard do in a pinch? Yes.
Had a fine group tonight on an alt, lasted for hours. At one point we had a monk tank. At another we had a bard tank. If Rangers had been available for tanking when we were looking, they would have done just fine. Only death I saw in several hours was a bard that would have lived had the secondary heals gotten to him fast enough.

Can Rangers tank? Sure they can.
