They didn't count on it in the first place for coil. But for Alexander Savage, Yoshi himself said that they were now designing hard end-game encounters in a fashion that pushes everyone counting tanks and healers to do maximum DPS while maintaining their roles in an optimal way. That is the actual direction they want to take.
And given the fact that we're now getting abilities exclusive to our DPS stances/no tank stance for DRK (Fell Cleave, Decimate, Blood Weapon), and that healers are getting a lot of new DPS spells (Aero III, Stone III, Assize, Broil), I don't think it will change. This is how they want FFXIV to work.
