Blasters, more so than, use the 'active defense' principle - essentially that your only defense is to actively manage your offense and your situation to keep yourself alive.
Tankers/Brutes/Scrappers have straight def/res.
Stalkers have def/res and aggro mitigation.
Defenders and Corruptors have their buff/debuff/etc to mitigate a lot of danger.
MMs have their pets, *and* their secondaries.
Controllers have their controls and their secondaries.
Doms come close. Despite their Control primaries, they only have a damage secondary. In many ways, they're to Blasters what Corruptors are to Defenders.
Edit: This is probably why I get so frustrated playing Bowtruckle - he plays like a Dominator more than a Defender, without the handy "Minute of Pwn"--
