Look at the bs in CM and Prae that new players are still having to deal with.
SE threw more rewards to those dungeons and it didn't do anything to help them.

It's frustrating for you and others and I can sympathize but you also need to stop expecting SE to solve this issue.
You're on Balmung, one of the most populated and active servers in FFXIV.
You cannot tell me that there is *nobody* out there who is either in your shoes or is leveling a tank/healer, or has a tank/healer leveled that is willing to help.
If all else fails do throw up a group into PF or do some shouting. Don't expect others to invite you into already formed groups, try forming your own.

If your FC is snubbing you and other newbies then you guys should go find another FC that will not do that.

Also, I'm not sure why new players think that leveling via fates/dungeons/leves is the only way? That type of grind is the worst.
Make sure to exhaust your side quests too as well as the other exp options in the game... ~_~;;
But if you're hellbent on using Fates... well, by now the mob of rogues/ninjas will be moving in relative unison to the next area for "optimal" exp. Hang back in the areas they were before and do fates there. There will be less people there and you will still get good exp.
