It's pretty apparent that SE can't develop interesting tanks or healers, at best DRK and AST are a mixture of what we already had with a gimmick thrown on top.
They DID do that though. I'm not sure about the specifics of pre and post SB for AST and the other healers, but letting PLD finally block magic attacks and giving them holy magic for more damage as well as letting WAR's loose with Inner Release certainly do concern the balance and identity of the tanks.

DRK got the short end of the stick, what with a random focus on gauges and the removal of reprisal (their most loved skill lost if the forums are to be believed) for a role skill so all tanks can help the main tank during a tankbuster. I'm not dissing The Blackest Night, but altering DRK from the atk down tank to the barrier tank was a change nobody asked for.
