There is a nuance to this. Tanks and healers each share all gear within their role. There's a number of categories of DPS gear instead of all of them sharing. It's equal in the chance that every drop is equally likely, but DPS drops are more likely because of the sheer amount of DPS items in the loot tables.

However, this isn't much consolation for individual DPS jobs. As it doesn't really help if you need maiming gear, but striking or aiming or casting gear drops.

You see VIT melding in progression across several roles, although we do have the short end of the stick HP wise. I'm not sure it's a huge deal since melding Piety isn't all that common anyway. At the end of the day if all three healers are in the same boat, does it matter if we need two more VIT melds than a SAM does?
Not that big a deal now that we know we need it. But, you know, it did kind of suck to be the only ones wiped out by some of the raid busters early on. "...Time to go meld more vit."

Ironically in pvp now, healer HP is pretty high...
