It's not some magic thing where suddenly tanks and healers do more work than any other member of the team.
Tanks need to know the fight before hand or they will get the most hate from others. They are responsible for pulling and positioning. Also they need to be the most geared to absorb damage. Healers for the most part, can just basically react and heal.
