This isn’t encroaching on the DPS (like say WAR does to healers in dungeons) this is just a core facet of how games work.
But then at what point is DPS also tanking or healing, tanks also healing and healers also tanking no longer acceptable, if tanks and healers also DPSing so readily is? Why is one direction of role-invasion acceptable, but the other two are not?

(that is to say, maybe the issue is not Warriors healing, but that not every other tank, healer and DPS is also off-classing into something else)
