Tanks still contribute heavily to the speed of a run. Tanks will still deal much more damage than a poor dps (or poor anything really). Tanks can still adjust and focus their playstyle to make runs faster and deal more damage.

The difference really comes in two places: The total DPS dealt is less, and now many will be using Fending Accessories instead of Slaying. While a DPS nerf is certainly annoying, I'll take being able to roll Need on accessories optimal for my class over some extra DPS.
