You are all so appalled at this, as if these trials couldn't be cleared easily without DPS or without tanks.

The game is designed for the general playerbase. An average clear does not look like this.
Fun story:

Back in 2.0, I figured that I could stack enough vit to survive mountain busters from TitanHM as a White Mage when coupled with a virus rotation and good shielding. It worked and the agro I could generate easily outstripped anything a Tank could ever hope to generate back then.. Keep in mind that this was at a time when pugs would routinely refuse to let Warriors tank this fight.

It got nerfed immediately in the very next patch weeks later.

Fun Story 2:

Back in patch 2.3, Summoners figured you could tank Ramuh with Titan-Egi and go tankless to simplify things.

This didn't even wait for the next patch. SE promptly rolled out a hotfix to stomp this one out.

It's all hyperbole, unless you're a tank. Tell you what else is hyperbole. Suggesting you could clear HydEX's add phase easily without Tanks

Granted, I'll give you the DPS point, that's kind of a byproduct of a game that asks even less of the DPS than it does the healers.
