Sorta what I was leaning on what really needs to change to get people to want to play these classes more. Getting yelled at and screamed at i would think for anyone isn't very fun and all and would offer the adverse effects of trying to get more players playing these classes. Myself included, I enjoy playing healers, its something while yes I'm not perfect at. I am human and make mistakes like everyone else. I've all but retired playing SCH just simply because its not worth the headaches of getting screamed at for a mistake. So I save my healing and tanking for other games where a small mistake doesn't mean a full wipe and keep my DPS self for FFXIV.

Can it be fixed or changed? Absolutely. Lesser "oh dear" moments for healers and better utility for tanks could have an impact to making the roles a little more lenient to play. The stricter the demands, the heaver of a burden the less that will be willing to play it.

That said too I really do like your idea to make tanks and healer have at least a little more impact to encounters, its a start to make the jobs a little more interesting to play.
