That's a matter of visibility, not quality. Tanks and healers get more commendations mostly because what they do in a party is more obvious.

Held aggro, grabbed adds quickly, didn't spin unnecessarily? Tank did a good job. No one died, status effects cured quickly? Healer did a good job. BLM did... um... huh. I'm pretty sure I saw some fire, maybe. Is that good?
