Many, like myself, only use my tank to help FC people or only tank when I am with friends/full FC party. The issue is the attitude that is so prevalent in DF where everyone wants to speed run, dps pull, don't listen, and/or are abusive to each other (this includes those tanks who use DF and are abusive to others). To me, it is a community problem based a lot on how SE designed the system to reward certain behaviors (speed runs to get max tomes/rewards in the quickest way possible). Until this kind of design and this kind of attitude players have, that their time and way of playing is somehow more important than others, changes, there won't be any short dps queues in the future no matter if there were 50 tank roles.

    Odd, I don't see anywhere in that post that she said that there should be changes to the mechanics of tank or that tanks are boring to play. What she did say is that being a tank can suck because of people's attitudes toward you. They want huge pulls to get the dungeon over with quickly, but god forbid if you wipe on one because you'll never hear the end of it even if it wasn't your fault. As far as tanking jobs being boring - just because you don't enjoy it doesn't mean there aren't those that do. I personally enjoy Paladin a lot. I just don't enjoy people's attitudes in Duty Finder so I generally queue up with at least one other person in a premade when I do tank.

    In any case, why would you be able to kill something faster than a DPS class? That would be pretty stupid. ._.

    Basically this.
