They neither should nor would have to be.

I want supports. I also want them to have to be just as good at their jobs as anyone else in order to have a spot in a raid. And as support tools get increasingly inflexible at their rDPS contribution less reliable or direct, the more it's possible for support to be significant to both numeric output and gameplay (i.e. without leaving supports as just rDPS bots with no real skill gap of their own).
