Part of the game is leveling and it always has been, and part of the function of DPS modes to non-DPS classes (normally, tanks and healers) is to provide for better solo play when tanking/healing focus aren't nearly as useful. It is not their sole purpose at all, but part of their whole function. Treasure Maps and weekly/daily hunts are both relevant solo content at 60, too, in addition to leveling.

And DPS stances are surely meant for OTing and they always have been--whether DRK and PLD are properly balanced as OTs in terms of damage dealt is a separate matter. If the developers intended for DPS stances to be used while main tanking, they likely wouldn't have added an accuracy bonus to the tanking stances to ease the accuracy burden on the main tank without also adding it to the DPS stance (and at that point, it would simply make more sense to reduce the frontal accuracy requirements).

Does the current design support that intent? Not particularly. But you can't say that Deliverance would have no purpose if it weren't usable while main tanking as that ignores the other half of tanking, which is off-tanking a number of fights.
