My thought is play anything you want.

From here:
Any raid group that would reject a skilled player because it is nonmeta just sends off warning bells to me, and I'll leg it faster than light speed
I'm not a raider by any means since I just started a few months ago, but I really think it's a bad idea to play around what you think other people will want, because if you don't enjoy playing the job, what's the point? You should play what you enjoy.
