"A tank is defined by the damage he can take, and if can survive afterwards, not based on damage. Rammus also does alot of damage."

A good tank is defined not merely by how much damage they can absorb, but by how much threat they present to their enemies. This can be in the form of damage, constant CC, or initiation. A common example is that pure tank build Mundo can absorb immense pain... but serves little threat compared to his team mates who will most likely deal more damage or CC better. Amumu, on the other hand, deals much more damage because of his scaling aoe toggle, Tantrums, and free Mpen, in addition he can close the gap through walls and stun entire teams with his ult.
