He's a good tank.
Pros-
Removes buffs from enemy.
Grants enemies offense down.
Grants allies protection.
Grants himself protection
Cleanses de-Buffs from allies
Decent counter chance
Cleanses de-buffs from self
25% health recovery of he suffers a de-buff
High health and protection.
Cons-
Slow
Low damage
So, in my opinion, he's one of the better tanks in the game.

And Shore And Sith Trooper.
On Topic - him not having an Auto-Taunt is the real drawback. There is no point in using him if he needs to get a turn in order to gain Taunt. He is good in a full phoenix team in GW though.
Outside of that, I haven't seen him do well. Maybe GW, or in a full Phoenix raid team. He is just too slow.
A. IGD lead, Kit Fisto, Aayla, Zarris, Kanan.
B. IGD lead, GK, Aayla, Zarris, Kanan
Might not be able to break into the meta, but it might be decent. Probably a meta shift, or faction pass, or new toon from being legit. Just not top notch right now.
I wish Zeb was a Jedi. Would be way more useful that kanan here. I would even take Ezra over Kanan in this squad.
It's the 100% counter chance on a taunt tank that is interesting to me. You're right that Zeb, and Ezra are just better. But the Jedi counter squad just seems interesting. But not enough for me to fully commit resources into it.
I like the idea of a counter Jedi squad, but Kanan wouldn't last long being focused, and his basic really sucks.
With Zarris he has plenty of survivability. And even more with GK as a second taunt. I camped at 1-2 in arena for months with GK/Zarris. She gave me literally tens of thousands of free heals (maybe 100,000 plus in an average arena battle). On offense you wouldn't lose anybody except to Nihilus.
THIS. You hit on the real problem. The Jedi are generally weak on damage output (with a few exceptions). You would get a lot of free damage boosted counters with the above comp, but it just wouldn't be enough to make up for the lack of pure damage.
A. Is actually a counter squad I have saved for GW and tank raids (and p4 of rancor if needed) like mentioned, they don't do a ton of damage, but it's fun to watch 5 toons all counter the same target. Outside of not having high DPS, Jedi don't have an AOE cleanser, so you'd have to sacrifice a counter toon for a cleanser if you wante them to survive longer. It'll be nice once the Jedi faction pass comes, if they give IGD a Zeta that increases the counter chance to like 75%+ and damage to 50%, that way you can put in the high DPS non counter Jedi. It'd also be sweet if they released an AOE cleanser Jedi or added it to an existing one.
Sun Fac is the better option. I never used him before (I have him 6*) but being able to dispell on a basic is pretty wicked.
Not in order
Baze, st, fac, Srp, sth, gk, b2, shore, k2so and storm. Old ben and made are tanks too and I would probably put them above kanan too. His kit is alright and he suffers from association with Phoenix.
He is probably under rated but so is GGuard.
Offense down is underated. And with kanan he can taunt and counter, giving offense down to everyone on the other team with good rng. It really does , slightly, help
It's more useful for raids as that way it won't be cleansed/met with tenacity up. He's a solid tank for P3, and I'm sure the Phoenix team as a whole is probably pretty alright in P3/P4.
Well spotted! Yes add RG in there too
On phase 3 and 4 its hard to give them all buffs at the right time to survive the cannon/airstrike, I tried them with raid han and they all survived to the enrage timer.
