That's not really correct. It's *mildly* correct in that tanks need gear enough to not be gibbed before healers can heal them/dps can kill them and healers need enough gear to keep everyone healthy enough to not be gibbed by unavoidable damage. That said, those minimums are very quickly reached, usually before actually stepping into Mythic.

edit: Sorry I went off on a tangent, that seems to be a common misconception from people who haven't done/haven't done much progression raiding in WoW.
