When they were saying "The same responsibility" in that, let me just help you out really quick here.

If your tank can't tank, can't do the content. If your healer can't heal, can't do the content. If your dps can't dps though, then Square pats you on the head, says you tried your best, gives you a sticker, and it's okay.

Remember those ghosts in O5S? The thing you gotta do if you aren't doing WAR or RDM strat? I once got hit by the dps ghost as an ast. I still killed the ghost, mind you having a mini dps check in it itself, before our SMN who got in first. Still killed the boss. Wanna tell me with a straight face, that, by square's own personal check alone and no parse needed to see, that I should be doing more dps than a SMN on AST, you know, the healer with the least dps? Hand holding.

It gets worse as soon as you drop away from savage, even extreme. Look at Tsukuyomi, did you even know it had an enrage? I didn't even see it 12 minutes into the encounter. Was Byakko's enrage just too much so they had to push it back? Considering Byakko's wasn't even a difficult enrage either. So already the content that is stated as being what you do before you do savage, doesn't even want to have noticeable dps checks.

Also, yes, tanking and healing are stressful roles. Because I got to sit there, watch how terrible someone's doing, and get called nasty crap just for giving a tip. Even though I'm a mentor.
