WHM getting progressively more unnecessary in content?

[Cynfael]

And the community plays normal content raiding isnt even something that the majority of the player base does so it cant be pointed to the only way to look at a job but yet its all I ever hear.

I think this is because relatively few players who actually think about questions of job balance really care about it in the context of "normal" content. Fewer people care if a particular job is a little weak if they don't notice a difference in whether or not their duties get completed, and you're not likely to see players excluded because they brought the "underpowered" job to an Expert Roulette dungeon or something.
