A little complexity is fine, the issue right now is that there is no real trinity or anything everything is dps and that's why the only thing you ever need to clear anything is enough dps.

buffs / debuffs aren't really necessary like you said here

and I also mentioned in another thread skills like blunt arrow, legsweep shield swipe are all completely unnecessary as debuffs and only ever used as a dps increase.

Crowd control tactics don't exist either, sleep, repose, bind, heavy, etc all of which are completely worthless.

Damage mitigation isn't really necessary either which is why paladins seem to be in a pretty bad way recently and why everyones using warriors / dark knights because the only thing that really matters is DPS.
