Your story:
-----------------
It works in x situatuation where everyone in the group consists of complete newbies that haven't seen a tank in their lives, that think the world is flat, that think that you'll fall off the earth if you travel too far. BUT THEN HERE SORRIOR COMES with his shining gold metal and his shining gold hair and his shining gold horse (or panda) and he shows them that the world is round, that you can't fall off and above all, that someone is great at taking punches. And to emphasize the beating he is taking, he attacks and defends with a golden shiny twohander, taking twice the beating and dishing out twice the punch, like a real man.
My story
--------------------
Having been shown the truth, the once noobs are taken into the golden light and their minds are set free. Those free minds start developing a sense of understanding and suddenly, there it is, they start asking questions. But what, if you would carry a shield, would that not be better if you are going to take punches? We can help you hit things, but we can't help you defend us. And the golden knight frowns. Ye noobs, do not understand. Ye noobs should listen to me and follow me where ever I go. Ye noobs shall not use your wits and question me, for this is my glorious mission. And the noobs slowly start fading from the light, because now their minds have been set free and they understand how the world works, they believe that this is not the best way.
-------------------------
So yeah, you can do it with a bunch of noobs, or lowbies. Frankly, if you want to 2h tank in a lvl 20 dungeon in wow, be my fucking guest. I'll kick you when it doesn't add up. But don't you dare show up with 2hand tank in my lvl 50, now 60 instances in Rift, because I'll kick you promptly.
