No, you're right, it's possible for them to tank on a par with Rangers or so, it just takes wicked gear to not be overwhelmed on damage taken to the point that your Cleric is not keeping up and it becomes a better idea just to use an Earth pet, even.

Holding aggro even without weapons is NOT a problem, I agree.

edit: I also tanked in Bastion of Thunder, but that was with a planar-kitted bard obviously. Ornate plate and what not.
