So those parses are a little old. A number of things have changed then: mobs seem to do a lot more damage since the previous patch, and Haynar has been patching AC to make it more effective. Also, those mobs are slowed. That makes a huge difference.
Sakuragi in those parses was taking like 18 dps in. If we assume the Cleric was CHing him efficiently for ~4000 each time, that means one CH every 200 seconds or 35 ticks if I am doing my mental math correctly. During that time our Cleric will regen 33 mana per tick or so with C2, or almost 1200. So Sakuragi is using like 1/3 of the healing power of our cleric. The rest of it was going to DL on the enchanter.
So the biggest conclusion from that parse IMO is that Paladins with their aggro spells can prevent the other members of the party from taking as much damage and then being healed very inefficiently. If targets are slowed, then the AC/HP of the tank is nearly irrelevant, which is why Pint came out ahead defensively. And my experience backs this up: I've seen rangers (Wiggedywoo) tank that camp just fine as long as they had a good shaman. And because of this, the Warrior is the best tank even without good aggro because the additional offense matters more. In other words: duh.
@OP: probably you should do your own test and see how it works out. All of the Kunark BPs are very cheap nowadays or you could probably borrow one.
