Only a ranger would say that rangers have "just enough tankiness to tank." Unfortunately they don't, and anyone who plays a healer can attest to it. Healing a ranger is about like healing a shaman with regards to tankiness.

Rangers tank just fine for anything short of the very hardest one-group content. In fact, for the pre-Kunark era, rangers actually have the same defense skill as the other tank classes and higher dodge/parry than knights. Nobody really struggles with anything pre-55ish so having a ranger tank is good because they have respectable DPS, impeccable aggro, bring snare themselves, and can switch to the DPS role if another tank joins. I wouldn't be thrilled to have a ranger tank for something like juggs in Seb, but anything less than that, I'm perfectly pleased because they can do it just fine and are much more flexible than, say, a paladin.
