My apologies. I was trying to figure out which form of lightsaber combat sounded the Tankiest, while I didn’t actually research Obi-Wan’s fighting styles. But you gotta hand it to me, I got the other two right, right?.
I find it ironic that while, searching for the tankiest sounding lightsaber style, you chose form 5. Which is a fairy aggressive lightsaber form. For reference Anakin used form 5. (thou I believe he used the 2nd variant (Djem So) instead of the 1st (Shien)). I still recommend you just type "7 lightsaber forms" on youtube. You'll get tons of explanation video's. You'll also learn that the most defensive stance out of all 7 is form 3 (Soresu). So that one really should be the tank stance. Additionally, form 1 (Shii-Cho) is a fairy basic style. Making it quite good for a support role.

Also, I doubled the cooldowns of Obi-Wan’s other abilities, but also removed the zeta requirement for the bonus turn in Aligned Focus. In other ability tiers, this would be a gain of turn meter, but at ability level 7 and beyond, it’s a bonus turn.
The problem with aligned focus having a cooldown of 2 is the bonus turn. You switch your stance, take the bonus turn and then switch again on your next turn. That is a bit too quickly. So quickly in fact that it actually works against all 2 turn buffs. They might as well be 1 turn because they will immediately expire after the bonus turn. I really think it should be a cooldown of 3 or 4 (in return you can increase the healing a bit).
The ability cooldowns are a bit to much right now thou. I mean, Masterfull Mind trick has the same cooldown as Annihilate from nihilus right now. And it's effect clearly doesn't tack up to that. Increasing the cooldown of aligned focus to 3 and the cooldowns of the other 2 to either 5/6 or 4/5 will be more than enough. If you increase the cooldown of aligned focus to 4 you can do all 3 ability's at a cooldown of 4. So they are all used in 1 rotation of aligned focus. But I do realize the switching might be a tad to slow that way so it's gonna take some thought about which is better. It comes down to your preference.
A final problem I noticed is a rare situation but a serious one nonetheless. Imagine this scenario: Enemy team has Han Solo in it. He targets and stuns Jedi master obi-wan before he can take his bonus turn. What then? At that moment he won't be able to take his bonus turn and wont be in any of the stances! You can imagine how this could be a problem. I think it's better to have him take a stance at the start of battle and have Aligned Focus start on cooldown. That would also make the healing zeta much more important/effective. (thou here is also the 4 cooldown is too much argument for). I think Soresu is the best one to start in, as that is his basic and most used stance. You can also add in some bonuses to make up the lost of the bonus turn. Like a pre taunt (since soresu is so defensively focused) or something like the unique of Cassian Andor. I'm just throwing idea's around right now thou. Still you need to think of something for the situation I described above.
Still like the idea. My apologies that this post ended up being so long, but I did say I would keep thinking about it.
