Really the only advantages that Blitzcrank has over Thresh, is that his grab is easier to land, he has better chasing potential, and is easier to learn overall (favorable for new players). Also, if Thresh is baneed, Blitzcrank makes for an awesome replacement.

Also, Blitzcrank is a tank because he has a lot of CC, is naturally tanky, and has high base damage.
