Yep, been suggesting that for a while now. Not only does it provide more opportunities for rewards, as well as better rewards (Job specific ones, as nice as the gear shown was, it doesn't really fit some Jobs, and I'd much rather see PvP Relics anyway), but it also has a positive impact on Job meta. Doubt it would be too noticeable, but hopefully we'd see a better spread of Jobs, rather than people jumping on the current popular bandwagon, since that just provides more competition for that number 1 spot... Much more balanced way to handle rewards IMO, having different roles compete is just going to make the most important role (Healer) rule the top spot...

Making it Job based rather than Feast based also allows them to open the ranking up to all forms of PvP... That's just out right better for PvP, rather than queuing for Feast to up your ranking, we could instead have a proper PvP Roulette that makes the Fold, Secure, Slaughter, Seize and Feast relevant... All they'd need to do is standardize everything to have the same scoreboard (add Assists etc.) and rebalance the old stuff to Lv60 and possibly include new mechanics... I think that would be much better for PvP in the long run, frankly I'm sick of this flavour of the month PvP mode crap, have been since Slaughter...

At the end of the season I think the top Solo Que players will mostly be healers for that reason.

From a healer's POV, no, not really.
If you get paired up with DDs that can't dps you won't get any coins, no matter how good your healing is. On the other hand I've seen many times ppl getting KO'd in <1sec, and some matches end in <1min. Surely you can delay a KO by spamming everything you have but you still hope that your team does more damage before you run out of MP.

I'm all for more rewards though.

P.S. Finally ended that Bronze life.
