Exactly my thoughts. If we look at tank stance for example, Square could have easily enabled it by default but it's entirely up to the tank to ensure that it's on when required. We've all be around in cases where it's either been forgotten (if we have been guilty of that ourselves), or it hasn't been toggled on when a main tank drops, etc- but parties usually accept that they will (if necessary) help the tank to ensure that it's used when required, if necessary. No one has essentially taken the approach of "tanks are too dumb to know how to use their stance".

This would be the equivalent. Again, I've seen a similar dps buff/ healing debuff used elsewhere in both solo and party use and parties weren't wiping. Somehow healers were intelligent enough to realize when to coordinate and concentrate on heals, when to cleanse debuffs and when to focus more on DPS.
