You were grouping with bards who didn't know what they were doing. They do have plate and a high defense cap, and if they are serious about tanking then they should equip a shield. Bards can slow every single mob by 35% non stop, and even ae slow multiple mobs in that way. That is a lot of mitigation in itself and their songs hold aggro easily. They can also wield harmonic dagger at 46+ to proc stun for more mitigation/aggro.
