I agree with you about skills and champ kits help make some champions better Tanks (or any other role that matter). I would never say an Nami could be a better tank/bruiser then a Volibear.

But really it's the itemization that make the tank/bruiser more then the kit "tanking" is just about taking the bulk of spells for the team then getting out alive. Only differance between a tank and a bruiser really is once tends to have cc the other lifesteal or just strait up dps. Xin not a tank but he will force spells and ults wasted on a him, a champ that's going to just throw everyone off him then heal up, while your team can now spam the spells and other cc with out fear of retaliation.

Just saying why bring a "cc" tank into a team full of other cc champs, might as well bring in a bruiser with crap ton of Hp.
