You don't need to meet the item level if you queue as a full party, so just use party finder for the first few days.

You have other means to do it than just a flat out potency increase.
For example, they could have increased their mitigation kit to lessen the need for tank stance, thus increasing the personal DPS. But I admit it would have kept PLD as an "MT".
I wonder if it will be interesting to have a PLD as an OT and a WAR as MT now, since PLD's gap between ShO and SwO is widen again.
