The Lightning did way too much damage to that mag, considering they were front-to-front the Lightning was definitely on top before it missed a shot and decided to charge the mag rider.
Tanks are gonna need to be able to soak the damage of a big portion of a 200+ pop defense force engaging them. In Planetside the tanks were strong as hell, you beat them by either massing infantry or keeping them at a distance with jammers and mines.
The damage/style of the tanks is Battlefield 3 level, which I don't think suits the combined arms/MMO style of Planetside. In BF3 tanks are just like powerups in quake, they don't really fill a role too well, they die pretty quickly and they have a lot of damage potential but that's not really what a tank is for. I'd say the survivability is more a role of a tank, the Mag in TB's vid died in 2 shots from a vanguards main gun, that is a rear armor, then front armor shot. It also seemed as if TB severely damaged the vangaurd (Flames) in about 8 seconds of fire.
