It means that you will no longer be able to meet DPS checks if you only have 4 good DPS and tanks just tanking and healers just healing. You're gonna NEED these STR tanks swapping to DPS stance and these healers swapping to cleric whenever they can to ATLEAST meet the enrage timer.

That's what Yoshi said, we'll see in a couple of days when Savage mode comes out.
What I underlined above is not fact, nor his words, but how you're choosing to interpret his comments. There's a wold of difference between keeping tank DPS in mind when designing encounters and requiring tanks to spec/gear for damage.
