Plus, even if all jobs were played perfectly evenly, you'd still get healers in demand by simple maths. There are 4 tanks, 3 healers and 10(?) DPS. Group them into parties and you have a tank and 4 DPS left over. Healer is in need.
Logically speaking, -- assuming if the classes were played at least somewhat evenly -- if a raid requires 2 tanks, 4 DPS, and 2 healers, shouldn't the DPS more often then not be in high demand, since it takes four of them them to fill their respective role, it would be the tanks and healers who would be not in demand since it would only take 2 of each to fill their role, where as dps it would take twice as many players -- this is assuming there was no specific bias tward role.
