King's Indian is the classic tactical defense to d4! It's a lot of fun too. And it's a setup you can use against anything pretty much. I find the only real variations that I cannot control are whether my opponent wants me to attack in the center or if she wants me to attack on the Kingside.

Good counterattacking opening attacking the white king if 0-0.
Kasparov, Fisher and other greats have played this regularly

i read in some opening book by euwe that the qga leaves you defending until move 30 (if white plays presisely)
If black concentrates on development, then no problem for black.
Matthew Sadler users it with great results.
I played over his game against Minguel Illescas. Back won in 11 moves.
