A Ranger is not typically an ideal tank but that doesn't mean they
can't serve as one.
They DPS, snare, root, harmony, buff, heal, and track.
On raids they are usually offered up as the sacrifice to eat the Death Touch
and while that sucks for the Ranger it does open it up for everyone else to get
the raid mob.
Everyone and every class has a role and a job.
People are critical of Rangers and all that but I like Rangers just fine myself.
In my experience its the player not the class that makes things work or not
