I would agree with this however:

My experience in 4 months using T4 as an example gets in the way.

Myself and at least 3 other groups have never seen Allagan Sollerets Of Aiming drop once. Yet, every healer, tank, and other DPS got their drops. My group's completion order was literally: Tanks/Maiming, then Healer, then Striking.

Now that 2.2 is here, the only reason I will grind T4 is for easy mode myth and helping others. Why bother getting the boots now with more options out there, unlike before.

I guess another factor to consider, that is often overlooked:

Tanks and healers are more desirable to take to pugs. Dps are easy to replace/find so they probably would have a harder time to find a group. And any overflow of unneeded dps gear often goes to the tanks/healers.

When talking about your static raids though, I agree it isn't fair to them to have doubled up class's gear drop less often.

Speaking of which though. How do we even know that tank/healer drops are the same drop rate as dps drops? This issue might already have been addressed and we would have no way to know. It just "feels" like tank/healer stuff drops the same as dps items. Granted, it probably is the case that they do drop with the same frequency.

A. Pics or didn't happen
B. I know you could say the same thing to me, but at least what I had to say actually makes sense
C. Don't cite examples form your personal experience, that is an extremely small sample size
D. Cool name, I have a character named Nyne Feytes on Adamantoise!
