Are static groups simply the now accepted reality for endgame progression?

It's becoming clear that my FC/LS will have a short supply of healers for end game content (I don't mind I'm currently one of the only scholars). We're still probably 2-3 weeks out from starting Titan and progressing into Coil. It will be very difficult to decide who will be able to progress beyond Titan and who will have to sit out. They need to come up with a better system (personal lock outs?). I doubt the DPS/Tanks that sit out will be able to get through the content in a PUG or find another FC/LS willing to give them a spot.

I'm all for keeping these fights outside of the Duty Finder but they need to give LS/FC more flexability here. Not all LS/FC have 2 sets of healers and 2 sets of tanks to form multiple 8mans. We're not a mega-guild; we have around 12-15 active (dedicated) players.

You're overlooking one very key feature of this game that would help your situation immensely..and that is the fact that you can level all classes on the same character. If you need a particular class, and aren't willing to recruit more, then some of you can level that needed class and have it on stand by. What you're asking is for SE to do this work for you, which defeats the purpose of making new friends and finding a strategy unique to your group to get through the end game content.
