According to Yoshida, the amount it helped was practically not at all.
(So I'd assume something less than or equal to 1% difference)

For my own story on being a tank or not;
I was WAR in 1.0, then switched to PLD when i got it to 50 in 2.0.
I was starting to play BLM, WHM, and DRG more than PLD near the end of 2.0, but then when DRK came out, I mained it for all of HW.
So in my case, it made me stay on tank, but I had already played tank, but not fully.

Then 3.0 DRK changes made me hate it, and slightly WHM.
I took up RDM, and now i dont really touch WHM or DRK.
WAR is pretty fun now, honestly feels like an easier version of RDM, and RDM is already easy. (I enjoy easy, I dont get mental fatigued after 15-30mins of raiding, like I do as DRK and other jobs)

But unless they ruin RDM, and they will, they cant keep something fun, I dont see myself maining WAR.
I doubt Id main BLU either, but I do wanna mess around with it. They would have to do something pretty darn cool, for me to main it.

So honestly I think its more complex than "More people will tank if BLU can be a tank".
At most, we'd see a small % increase, but nothing really noticeable, other than people who level it for the 1st, time, and then are done with it. (Which isnt bad honestly, thats queues that get done.)
