Raids don't tend to stack spare tanks because of their lack of utility, having classes that can step upto the bat if needed and play makes all the difference, and it may be overrated but its a last ditch attempt at no failing, and thats worth a try.

I respecced my druid from PvE tank to a PvP Balance/Resto build. I had maybe 7k health, 7k mana. I somehow wound up with the flag. I run it to our base. I don't PvP. I don't recall that going stealth would drop the flag. It does. Ok... the priest and shaman who are standing there with me don't say anything. The priest picks up the flag. The priest, by the way, has 4k more health than I do. Chances are... more resilience too. Then he puts the flag down. Still says nothing. The flag gets reset. And then the priest says, "The druid wouldn't pick up the flag!" His response to my saying, "I have less hit points than you do and crappy gear" was... "You have bear form." Because that'll save me.
