There are only two tanks in all the game i recogise as 'pure'
Armsmen and Warriors.
and how can you not call an ability that can remove any and all negative staus effects on you, i've found it an incredibly powerful tool in both RvR and PvE.
Maybe for tanks it is less powerful due to their limited role in the game (tanks, tank they can't do anything besides that) and i've never had a fondness of hand to hand combat that allows me to lvl a tank to get purge and see whats its like, but i'd imagine not having to rely on a healer to remove your mez. or against an inf/NS all those bitchy posions/snares they have which do a fair ammount of their post-crit strike combo.
Still i'm not a tank, i'l probably never have a pure tank. so i'l assume you know what your talking about, say purge sucks for tanks and go about my merry way
And though i agree Group purge is power i'd rather it wasn't nerffed off the hibs, i mean they have it anyway and when i've been in fights with them its still been 50-50 win-loss roughly, then again i have the luxury of having two types of AE spell that makes your class useless for a time (atleast when rooted you can whack anyone near you, Pfft who needs AE root ) so i can let off an AE stun 1st, then an AE mez when they group purge.
But then AE stun is one of the middys 'overpowered' little spells that unbalence the game (apparently)
