Generally I agree with you. The thing is, there's very little incentive to be a tank when basic party mechanics go out the window, and GOOD tanks are hard to come by because you don't have to be a good tank anymore because the "casual" content is extremely forgiving. Too forgiving.

Also, healers should be healing primarily and DPSing rarely, if they have time to truly DPS, then the content is too soft on the tanks and/or party.
