A mythic dungeon isn't the same as a raid. In a dungeon you may fight lots of weaker mobs at the same while in a raid 2 tanks usually go against a single boss that hits hard.

For dungeons a Warrior or a Paladin to a good job. Warrior do better against melee with their block and paladins can handle caster mobs better with their Avenger Shield. This 2 are self-shield tanks with Ignore Pain and Avenger Shield( with azerite armor)

For hard hitting raid bosses a Monk is a better choice because their Stagger delays 80% or more of the damage and healers have time to heal. Other tanks can do the job but nothing competes with Stagger when it comes to soaking brutal hits.

Druids are also good, they have lots of hp, high armor and get more heals.

Death Knights and Demon Hunters in my opinion are not so good. Their armor isn't that great, they don't have block and their "defense" is based on self-heal attacks. Don't get me wrong they can do the job of dungeon/raid tanking but there are situations where they are bad compared to other tanks of the same gear level. It's because their tanking mechanic is based around self healing and other tanks mitigate/shield/stagger damage in staid of trying to heal it. If you are in situations where healing is reduced DK/DH are in bigger trouble than other tanks.
