Tanks are supposed to tank. Period.
Healers are supposed to heal. Period.
DPS - need I say more?
Each "role" is no more than "having point" on and the superior efficiency to do something. If that person can still do it, then because they are more efficient, you let them. You are not, however, free from concerns of party or personal survival just because you are not specialized for mitigation or restoration. Nor are a third or more of your abilities ornaments on a tank or healer.

It makes sense in a siege shooter that you'd have the guy with the shotgun or SMG breach. That doesn't mean he does nothing else. One guy you really don't want to have die first may be carrying the medpacks. That doesn't mean medpacks are his only responsibility.

Stop mistaking specialization for an exhaustive job description. Stop.
