Commendation Rewards

[Odett]

I don't care how good you are as a dps, you may get more than an unexceptional one, but a great dps will never get as many as a mediocre tank or healer. Even when I'm tanking and screw up badly causing a wipe I'll still get commendations just because I'm tanking and for no other reason.

This hasn't been the case in my own experience. My average number of commends is 2 on BLM (my main), and 1 on PLD (although that could say a lot about my tanking). In fact, I'm much more likely to get all 3 commends on BLM than any other job/role, and it's not really uncommon either. When I get 2, I usually assume the tank didn't commend me in the case that I kept pulling agro off them, and that's why I'm really not looking forward to a BLM buff. They might as well change our icon from red to blue when that happens.
