Actually some of the classes in wow can fill multiple roles (like paladin being tank, healer or dps), so it let's you select what role you want the dropped gear to be for. So it could work the same in ffxiv, you can play tank, but have monk selected for the gear you want.

Which could actually get more people playing their tanks/healers for the fast queues if they knew they could guarantee drops for their dps job, without being on that job.
