I agree. I'm all for changing things up for the sake of variety, but the meta has actually changed since 3.0.

For example, SE has suddenly come to the decision that "Difficulty" = "Dps Checks." So, mechanics have changed to reflect that. You just have to compare the Extreme Primal / Savage content to the old Extreme Primal / Coil content to see the difference (Thordan Ex is an exception that I hope they keep up with). This simple change alone caused a huge ripple. Hit up the Tank forums and you can't toss a stone without hitting someone who is complaining about the current meta being unfairly tailored to War's and Drk's. Pld's get sidelined because of high Dps checks and an overall broken skillset. Small changes in the meta effectively wrote off an entire Job for progression groups (once you're overgeared it makes little difference).

Personally, I'd like to see some mix ups. It keeps things interesting, as you say, but I'm just pointing out that these are things SE has to be aware of when they decide to implement changes to the way our jobs spec out. Changes are good, but not if they bar people from content or a certain job. They have to keep some kind of balance.
