If there is a defender,  the enemy is caught between a rock and a hard place. That's why it's good the role is called "Defender" and not "Tank". A tank is best ignored, because all he does is soak damage.But a Defender does more - he soaks damage, but he also punishes you for not attacking him. A Defender is as deadly as a Striker if you ignore him. You can't "win" by ignoring him, he'll stab you dead, or take away your damage, stop you in your tracks, doesn't let you go away, or teleport you to places you did not want to be (whatever flavor of Defender you have).I think there is nothing more artificial about the defender abilites then there is about sneak attack or curses.</blockquote>
