I don't think even most of the hardcore folks balk at a hybrid tank. It's adding a ranger and a bard after you already have a paladin or shadow knight tank that starts being a problem. Or a SK wanting to join as your 6th just because you have an opening, even though you already have a tank.

I'm more picky than most about exp penalties, and I'd generally prefer a hybrid tank than having to rely on roots or whatever. But I'll be pretty fucking picky about adding any other hybrids unless we really needed more bodies.
