Unfortunately there aren't a lot of metrics for mitigation or threat per second, and tanking being such a specialized role there aren't a large number of parses to compare as most raids have far less tanks than DPS or healers, so Warcraft Logs is ranking tanks by damage dealt while tanking while this isn't a perfect metric, damage is directly related to threat, and is the primary means of scaling a tanks threat in order to allow DPS roles to push harder.
