    Xp bonus in roulette is not there to encourage players to play this job. XP bonus is determined by an algorithm that look at what roles are needed in the current queues and the most wanted role get the bonus.
    Since the lowest population is the tank one, the majority of incomplete parties need one, and so the bonus is applied to them.

    The bonus isn't there just for tanks, its there for what ever is in need. Healer has been there, and back when HW came out even DPS came up a few times.

    The wait time usually isn't even that bad, spend your time doing other things. Why should SE compensate us for our choice to use the most popular role?
    Because DPS go on instance less often than a tank or a healer due to the wait time.
    Let's say I want to level up a DPS in dungeons because I want to test the gameplay in "real situation".
    It's longer than for a tank or a healer, so the xp boost would balance that a little.

    What. They are much less populated roles, so they get in quicker and more often. Tanks receive a bonus because they are being rewarded for using the least popular role.

    Again, do other things while you wait. The bonus isn't even that good anyway. Why are some DPS always so bent on wanting SE to take things from the other two roles?

    The current system is fair, your system is not.

    You aren't learning any more about endgame DPS from running Sastasha 40 times than you would doing any number of other low effort activities. Heck, I think I learn more from grinding FATEs than rerunning Tam Tara, even though they're impossible to lose, exploitable mechanically and the most boring possible way to gain experience. Whenever my friends roulette they seem to end up in the most facerolly dungeons possible every time
