Well, take a piece of shit and gear it in epics, per say. It will tank you all the way to Pentagon. Unless you troll, you really don't understand the meaning of tanking, and technically there are only two classes in this game capable of it: Rhino and Loki. No, Frost is not a tank, no matter how armored and shielded he is. Frost is a Globe-bot that doesn't do anything else in particular.

Rhino's Skin automatically draws attention, making ultimate use of his defensive stats.

Loki, while not having particular defensive stats, can use Decoy to control enemy attention.

Threat management is first and foremost role of the tank, because people with other roles are supposed to do them without interference from incoming damage. Mitigation comes second, as indeed a lot of classes may have certain tools to survive longer than others, namely Mag, Nyx, Vauban. So your Ash is literally - as good as nothing in terms of tanking.
