The damage balance they had in ShB where on your average first clear or PF reclear the tank would out damage the healer while organised statics could push it he healer 5-10% higher than as perfect. Now the best healer on the strongest healer class is still 15% weaker than the worst tank on the worst tank class for literally zero reason
Likely because Tanks often are required to deal with additional gameplay elements in raid encounters such as tank swaps and what have you - however having a tank exclusively because they HAVE to be there creates a bit of a problem (not having a 2nd tank for that 1-2 tankbusters means death for others) but so the other tank otherwise sitting around with even less to do then healers I "suspect" is why they have somewhat better damage then healers - that said I've seen White mages passing tanks these days due to glare.
