I was planing a tank build...

Max block, running 3 purities + grace, viper strike as main dmg with all nodes, mb searing bond, since dot nodes help.

But then I saw some builds, which not only do TONS of more damage, but they are also more inhertly through instant life leech. (Crit Blootseeker claws, VP, Acuity)

So why is that offense is the better defensive option?

In the sense that.. If you kill everything in 1 shot or before it kills you, you generally stay alive. Different characters utilize different strengths. You have to complement your play style or find something you like. If all builds had the same functionality there wouldn't be much of a variety.
Because Leech is OpieOP right now.

With Acuities - offence = defence, you don't care if I get hit for all your ES, one blade sends it back to full.

It also doesn't help that a "non-tank" build still runs around with Maxblock all the same, and especially Low Life shenanigans can accomodate Purities just fine too. Tank builds aren't really a thing.
