I actually asked to find out about his tanking and also just to make sure you are talking about him as a jedi.
So again, how is Jacen one of the most incredible tanks in the mythos. I know he is supremely powerful and was one of the most prodigious force users ever lived but I'm curious about his taking skills.
As far as Force Tanking, which is what I'm assuming you're talking about with the HoT, Jacen walks through hordes Turbolaser fire. (The same canons that were placed as the defenses of the Death Star.)
As far as physical tanking goes, read his fight with Luke. The guy gets slashed through the kidney at the very start and it barely even fazes him. Then there's, you know, the Embrace (Yuuzhan Vong torture device that humbled Krayt) that Luke uses a weapon against him mid-fight. 😐
For that matter, I could point out that he fought Jaina whilst being shot by sniper rounds, armless, etc. The guy just goes through a horde of shit regularly and is still top dog.

I didn't know about this, its really impressive.
Actually I am not certain which type of tanking I'm talking about cause I have no idea with what technique HoT defended against Vitiate's attacks.

Yes, well I don't see how these are superior feats to defending against Vitaite's attacks.
By the way, even though I agree there isnt a huge gap between Jacen and Caedus' power levels, I have to say that his tanking against Luke and Jaine are all achieved by him as a sith which isnt something to ignore completely.
I don't see shrugging off injury as "tanking" myself. That's pain resistance. I see tanking as having great lightsaber and force defenses that let you weather an assault. Also in having heavy armor that prevents injury. Which the HoT has as an advantage since s/he almost certainly has extremely high quality heavy battle armor as her standard equipment.
