SR on Tankers

How is it? With Tanker mods being what they are, it looks like an SR tanker can reach the general content defense soft cap with minimal (if any) outside help (read: pool powers or IO bonuses), and can get within a couple percentage points of the Incarnate soft cap with pool powers on just SOs.

With Tanker HP, those scaling resists should actually be useful.

And with the upcoming ability to slot IOs for global resistance bonuses, one could theoretically make an SR tanker quite unkillable.

But is it enough? Does a purely defensive set lend itself to being the Anvil, or does the RNG point and laugh at SR tanks?

What secondary would be best suited to tanking? I'm thinking about /Dark for its single target damage and utility, but perhaps something with a bit more AoE? What works best for overcoming Evasion's weak taunt?
