It is actually 28% Maelstrom, 35% Flames and 37% Adders for 2015.

That's not actually a very huge disparity, when you think about it. Compare to 19% Healers, 19% Tanks and 62% DPS and you have 50% more DPS than the 1-1-2/2-2-4 setup supports, something the feast suffered from.

That's all just potential, tho. We all know that in practice, tanks are not as common as healers on average and likewise, a GC that is overall underrepresented might be overrepresented in PvP. We also don't know how the role distribution in PvP looks like. Heck, we don't even know if a game isn't starting because we're waiting on that one last adder or because we're 5/5/5. Transparency is rather lacking.
