Open roles for non-ranked? Sure, go for it. In ranked, either lock rolls, or open up chat. It's going to die if they don't anyway.
Its never going to be balanced because that is the nature of pvp and tanks are just weaker dps with CC. Healers are DPS with some healing. DPS have CC and self heals themselves. The parity between everyone is pretty even. I've gone in as a warrior, sage, bard, sam and mnk and honestly I didn't feel any advantageous playing any of them. The mode itself is pure chaos in a fun way and most of my wins have come up AGAINST teams with a "balanced" comp of dps tank and heals.

They will tweak it as they go, but the format overall is perfectly fine.
