Isn't this basically what GW2 did? Every class can DPS, heal, and most can tank..?

I like my trinity... but I do think steps should be taken to balance the ratios...

Completely wrong. Its because too many people pick DPS.

As a tank I wouldn't mind extra dps slots in the hard modes of content. Why does it have to be only 4 or 8 to make a party anyway.

I gave up leveling my tank because I found it too stressful having to know the complete in and outs of every dungeon. I actually find healing much easier than tanking, since my mechanics become "heal when bars are low, don't stand in AoE circles." As a tank it's know when to move the boss, know kill order, move out of aoe, remember which skills to interrupt/which you should pop cooldown on, etc. On top of that, you have people in DF being impatient with players still learning, and remind me why I want to play a tank? For a mount? Meh, I'd rather just enjoy playing my way.
