That depends whether you're talking about dividing people across roles or jobs.

If you have 18 players split evenly into roles (so 6 tanks, 6 healers, 6 DPS) then yes, you'd be short of DPS.

But if they are split evenly across jobs (so 4 tanks, 3 healers, 10 DPS) then you are short on healers and overstocked on DPS, as I was saying in my previous post.
