After the GNB hype wears off, you're actually going to see a REDUCTION in tanks from what we have now, because the new battle system does more damage, causing healers to have to heal more, and tanks to actually pay attention and use cooldowns outside of tankbusters.

Yoshida and SE are moving to a more traditional format where healers are expected to heal and tanks expected to tank. Not everyone being red, green and blue DPS.

I'm a tank main, but I play AST quite often in raids as well. I'm looking forward to the changes. And frankly, there are a TON of healers out there that hated being pressured to "do more deeps!", so I don't think those upset with the changes quitting or changing will have as big of an impact on queues as you seem to think.
I don't think people are upset because they wanted to be green DPS for queue times, I believe people are upset because they are simplifying the classes on extreme level.

Healers already don't have rotations, and changing a SCH rotation to basically what is Broil -> Broil -> Broil -> Broil is boring as all hell.
