Think you missed what Johnist meant. Every part of the party is important that's clear. We lack tanks and healers because they are the bread to the DPS sandwich, its takes more skill ensuring your party doesn't wipe - hence the responsibility roles comment. As a DPS, yes there are a few things to keep an eye on and do, but the roles of tank and healer require much more thinking, planning and executing then that of DPS classes. Plus people like to see big numbers when they are killing stuff over healing or watching threat meters. Not many DPS get blamed for a run wipe do they?
