Next season onwards, rankings/rewards should be separated based on roles.

You can be the greatest healer in the entire game, but that wont carry DPS who can't focus a single target. While heals are very important, they wont secure the win sadly.

I'm going to have to agree with this. As a SMN, I have a lot of burst, but if I throw it all, I'm out for a while. If I'm paired up with a sub-par dps (someone who just doesn't do good damage, doesn't follow marks, or doesn't watch for hard switches), it's really hard to kill someone IF the healer on the other team is good and watching for my burst. Similarly, it's super hard to burst someone down if the tank/healer isn't properly CCing the rest of their team. However, if I have a good DPS partner, we can carry a sub-par healer because we won't be taking much damage (we'll kill at least one of the other dps before they have a chance to unload on us).

I wouldn't mind a ranking system based on role or even job, but how would they judge that? Right now, you could queue up as any job and switch for later matches... I have actually seen quite a few people do this.

Its nice idea to have healer 3 rankings, like you said ... healer, tank, dps.

Anyway matching system also need rework. Currently its working based on avarage ranking. Eg you have one gold in team, enemy got one gold in team, you have one unraked enemy will have unranked.
But it can create situation when gold healer is matched against golden dps while rest of team is unraked or bronze(silver, etc). That will create bad situation.
It should be made way that gold healers are matched against gold healer dps against dps and tanks against tanks.

Not enough players for this to happen, unfortunately.
