If you look at this slide from the Census 2014 ( http://imgur.com/a/pEzlr#8 ) that shows the role distribution among the player base, you can see that DPS are 38%, to 10% tank, and 7% healer. So DPS are nearly 4 times as prevalent as tanks, and more than 5 times more prevalent than healers. Adding more tank jobs and healer jobs, won't necessarily mean more people will play those roles, though some might be enticed to switch from DPS to those roles if they are exciting enough. The only sure fix would be a six man party for dungeons with 4 DPS, one tank, one healer or a combination of DPS and Support (should they ever be added).
    The job distribution slide would be a better indicator of the classes played relating to PVE content. 12% PLD 9% MRD =21% of combat classes are tank. Fairly close to the desired 25% make up for the DF make up. Again 14% WHM and 10% SCH = 24% healer. Pretty damn close to the 25/50/25 tank/dd/healer make up.

    As I said in earlier posts; Player personality and social behavior have a greater effect on who tanks and how they go about getting a grp. FC>LS>FL>PF>DF
