WAR couldn't solo a lot of stuff in 5.0, because Nascent required a target until 5.3. Once 5.3 dropped Nascent no longer required a target and WAR was back to soloing stuff just fine.

And again, the same was possible in ShB. While I linked speedruns, it was certainly possible to get through dungeons in ShB without a healer or particularly skilled dps players. I know from personal experience that it was quite easy to handle single pulls with no healer and only two dps if a healer dropped. Throw in a third dps and most wall to wall pulls in ShB would have been very easy to self-heal through.
