Neither PLD nor DRK are going to get thrust out of the game completely, aside from fights where there's too much physical/magical damage for one to handle. On the other hand, Astrologian for a long while was in a situation where it simply wasn't represented.

OT WAR isn't nearly as dire as people make it out to be, as it has few implications for tanks as fights themselves dictate comp. Healers had more legitimate concerns about AST pre buffs, though competing with SCH puts them in the same position as the WAR debate.
