Right. A lot of people will be taking their main jobs to the new cap, including Tanks and Healers.
Meaning, no one (except sprouts) leveling sub 60.
If SAM and RDM don't start at 60, and i see no reason why they would, Then trying to level them will massively over saturate the queues with damage dealers.

The reason i likened it to NIN is because its a similar circumstance, no one leveling/playing Tanks or Healers through the DF because they were all trying to level the new NINs. In this case, no one leveling or playing their tanks/healers because they all want to play SAM/RDM through the new MSQ. Hell, A friend of mine abandoned his BLM main in ARR for DRK main in HW and is planning to abandon the DRK in favor of the RDM. So that right there is 1 less tank in the queues.
And even if there are enough players doing tanks/healers as mains in the new MSQ, they sure as hell wont be doing sub 60 dungeons to level.
So trying to level the new Jobs in the first few weeks of Stormblood will be a nightmare of 2 hour long queues. Which pretty much means everyone will go for POTD. Leading to shortages of players in the regular DF, So daily roulettes are going to be awful too ...

And when those new RDMs and SAMs catch up to the MSQ, it'll blow the DPS queues for post 60 content to hell as well.

No matter which way you slice it, DPS queues are going to go to hell for a long time.
