I haven't seen even one.

Now, sometimes I do see it advised when someone wants a low pressure, low responsibility playstyle, but that's not the same as saying "it's OK to suck." Simply, not everyone wants the limelight of playing a tank or healer (in fact not many people do).
If we're splitting hairs, people say "Go DPS, people won't notice if you do poorly.

And to everyone else, quite frankly I'd put up with the occasional poor tank if it meant not dealing with the legion of DPS who think they're invisible. Hell, if anything I pay more attention to the DPS so I know who to kick when dps checks fail yet again.
