There is 500 dps in most of the end ded 4, watch and vigil pockets, but you have to be doing dumb things like using blasters from a battlecruiser to get it to all apply to you.

I used a fleet stabber for a test a while back, and it held fine until I stopped moving. Many other ships can fight at longer range and can reduce the pockets before full dps starts to apply etc.

ie 1 med reppper II with 2 T2 rat specific hardeners will usually hold if the pilot isn't bad. maybe 1 extra hardener or a tanking rig as well if fighting the wrong race for the ships resists.

I tend to build a 300ish dps tank for my exploration ships, but as I usually fly an Ishtar, I can snipe from a distance without moving much. It comes with experience, and depends on the ship's size.
I would start with a stronger tank for the beginning, there are some nasty escalations from the unrated sites that can make you sweat if you are not prepared.
Once you know the sites better, the triggers etc. you can downgrade if you feel your tank is too much and switch tank mods for utility or damage mods.
