It does frustrate me to no end that DPS roles can function completely independent of cross role, whereas Tanks (and I suppose healers although I have little insight there) cannot. If you left your cross role slots completely EMPTY on a DPS job, in many situations, you might not even notice. Kinda drives home my suspicions that SE's dev team is full of DPS mains with not a clue how to handle balance for other roles.
