Except clerics don't do any of those things in raids because they have to med and use mana for heals, buffs and rezzes. No cleric stands there chain stunning mobs and picking up adds.

*coughs* I mean, I only do that in XP groups.
Honestly clerics don't have the mitigation to be doing that for more than a fight or two because the tank has to piss, or as a party trick when vastly overgeared. WAR PAL SHD and possibly BRD are optimizing for HP/AC; Clerics are optimizing for +WIS, then +Mana, then +HP/MR/AC.
Defense caps at 200, Dodge at 75, no Parry, no Riposte. DA/DB sure but you can't do anything except move and sit once you fire off one of those spells (can't even get evacced *shakes fist*) and I can't imagine too many raid mobs are vulnerable to stun.
So yeah while a cleric CAN tank...it's really only useful when you've got a glut of clerics.
