Offtanks don't tank, so its only natural tank jobs needs to have proper melee DPS gameplay loop.

Problem is, in 8 man content two healers don't get two healers worth amount of healing to do either.

This is very common in casual content. Everybody that plays a healer and done alliance roulette has run into a situation where your co-healer spams Medica 2 or w/e so there is literally nothing for you to do than to broil. You are effectively forced into "off-healer" position, but the game systems do not support this at all.
