You will be significantly slower without 4 man roulettes/dungeons, but this will definitely help.
PVP isn't really owning my time as there are literally other players trying to prevent me from winning, so I don't consider that an option.

Beast tribes... see, part of the reason I'm leaning so heavily on instanced content is I'm playing DPS classes, which always feel less efficient in any overworld content as they aren't built to take damage and, even with a chocobo, get flattened next to the experience I'm used to maining a tank job, so I'm uncomfortable there.

Deep dungeons literally empower melee classes to always be favorably facing the enemy (directional abilities are my least favorite element of FFXIV melee so I LEAPT at the chance to neutralize them in my favor), so I tend to prioritize deep dungeons whenever possible. Also it's non-trinity, and built for that.
