The issue is that LBs are shared, so only one person would ever get to LB: The one whose LB adds the most damage to the raid, whether through direct damage, buffs or a combination of the two. That is the precise reason why melees largely have a monopoly on it (and why ranged DPS get it in dungeons).

To solve this issue, LBs would have to be taken from the group and become a personal thing. Then however they screw with job balance - If two jobs have the same contribution outside of LBs, the one with the better LB is picked. At least, though, you'd ensure that everyone who does get picked gets to LB ever so often.
