The last boss isn't a big deal unless you play a Scholar and don't have access to leeches.
If your healer's on top of it it could work, sure. If not, well...

This gives players incentive to become more powerful because they can see how such abilities would help them. Of course they would be better, however I don't get mad if a level 30-39 PLD loses aggro to me, I just say: You dps I will tank. Really also, is that bad? Nope.
Yeah, but think how that person feels going into the dungeon wanting to tank it... and then it being completely impossible for them to keep aggro. You think there's no tanks now? Imagine if the role had difficulties in lower level content due to level synced DPS using overpowered abilities. I dunno about you, but if I feel like a class or role is ineffective I don't tend to find it very fun. If something isn't very fun for me, I don't keep playing it. Playing a tank and having a DPS or healer tell me "It's OK, just DPS and I'll tank it." is pointless to me. Why even play a tank if they aren't needed? And of course we'd have the inevitable few asshats that would kick un-synced tanks from dungeons simply for not having their full array of skills available. Honestly, it's just more trouble than it's worth.
