Id like to have the cracked cluster from the adventurer in need bonus, It used to be "healer" now, day by day it's tank. So I'm guessing farming cracked clusters from leveling roulette is tank exclusive ?

On rare occasions I've actually seen DPS in need I kid you not. This mostly has happened during really quiet periods though when not many players are online, but it definitely can happen. Funny enough though, DPS in need is common occurrence on the JP data centres, my alt loves it!
Player
The Adventurer in Need requirement changes depending on which role is actively lacking when players enter the Duty Roulette queue. With tanks usually having the most responsibility of keeping mobs and bosses at bay and mistakes being more fatal when done by tanks, it comes naturally that players would rather resort to being DPS or Healers, creating a deficit of tanks. The AIN reward is meant as an incentive to do said roulette as a tank to help players get their dungeons done.
If you want clusters aside that, there is the option to join Elite Mark Hunts via linkshells and fighting those in large scale groups (Stormblood areas only if you want the Cracked Cluster) for a somewhat 50:50 chance of a cluster per A-Rank. Another option would be doing the Lost Canals of Uznair aka Gazelleskin maps and be lucky with the floors.
There are possibly even more, but I can't recall them all.
If there's a lack of tanks, there's a lack of tanks.
I'm not sure what kind of answers you were expecting to get.
Healer pops up sometimes in the morning, but during primetime it's pretty much always going to be tank. It is, afterall, meant to incentive playing whichever role there's a shortage of.
I see healer quite often as the AIN, for both Leveling and Trials, regardless of time of day. Its pretty random when it pops up, but it happens more often than you might think. There's also been multiple times I've queued as WHM and got a cluster despite it saying Tank. DPS even happens occasionally.
Since the cross server party finder I've seen all roles. I think it depends more on what time your own and what your looking for. If it's daily dungeons and raids they vary by heavy time and by server region. IF you need cracked crystals just do hunts younormally get them there also and it's pretty fast if you have a hunt LS.
...I mean... the whole point of this bonus is to get the classes that are in need into the roulette/dungeons. And as we all know we're mainly lacking tanks.
So what did anyone expect?
Healer pops up all the time for me. I've even seen DPS pop up on alliance roulette from time to time.
I think people are just being picky as well -.- tanks are the most wanted. If there were a balanced amount the queue would be faster. I'm surprise this thread even exist -.-
