A tank is the heavily armored, high HP, high defense, low damage output, and aggro receiver of any group. A tank's job is to soak up the damage that damage dealers and healers would take. If a tank is letting other players take the damage, then that tank is not doing a proper job of defending their allies. This tutorial will give you a taste of what it's like to be a tank, and how you can better apply yourself to fights.
In PvP, there is no such thing as aggro or hate, thus making the tank look weak. To explain, hate is a value that is applied to monsters to determine what player they should fight. The difference between monsters and players is that players can choose who they can fight. But a tank can help push their teammates ahead, and serve as a useful distraction, while the others do their job, taking care of the enemy.
