as long as you're dealing a sufficient amount of damage and have cures present, anything makes a good tank inside abyssea

Well. I know of a 5 man group that consists of this: DNC, BLU, BLM, WHM, BRD or THF. Half the time the WHM doesn't show up and it doesn't affect the performance of the group
Does everything with ease(this is of course going for seals and +2 items).
Does that answer your question?

DNC makes a fine tank. Use RR at least, GH supplements it well. For the third, either use VV for the extra TP or Apoc for the offensive stats, quick magic, and RR3 in case ***hits the fan. I've tanked many an NM on THF weakened without much difficulty (As long as its not being fed TP, that is).

If you want to do harder things like duo'ing caturae, you could slap on an evasion atma instead of VV or Apoc and it makes things so much easier.

Use GH then. Those two atmas will be the staple of your hate. Dagger users have low attack in general - forcing crits will remedy that, and give you a high output that will compare with other DDs.

Not to mention DNC has no problem getting close to the delay cap especially if your BLM rolls /WHM.

DNC is actually a very good tank. We lowman seals all the time you can even lowman Body seals and some +2 jewel/card NMs with a DNC tank.

Atma of the Gnarled Horn
Counter+: Minor (+value%), Critical Hit Rate:Minor (+20%), AGI+:Major (+50)
comes from Sobek.
AGI = subtle blow but does not count towards the subtle blow cap.

Sobek is easily trio'd. You could gnab his atma np. I'd also suggest organizing a RR run. Seriously, these will turn your DNC into a monster.

GH is significantly better than SA or VV for pretty much anyone with with a good crit ws that doesn't have str mods. And yeah you kinda need RR too.

Seeing as you can tank nearly anything inside on THF/nin, DNC/nin would be an excellent tank provided you can fill in the evasion bonus (daggers anyone). It actually might be more advantageous because of self healing, you may be able to skirt by without a WHM (unless procing).
Raised Ruins, Gnarled Horn, and Dread are what I use on THF.
