  What??? How dare you suggest there is anything possible other than the
  Holy Triad - tank, dps, healer!
  
  I agree that WoW was wise to get away from that, but this makes you
  wonder why in the high end game, it goes right back to it. Every 5 man
  dungeon needs tank, healer, and ideally 3 dps. If you have more than 1
  healer or more than 1 tank, you nearly double your time in the dungeon.
  As you get into the high end content, the flexibility goes away and you
  are stuck having to do things in one way. Oh, and god forbid you try to
  bring 4 into a 5 man, 7 into a 10 man, 15 into a 20 man, or 30 into a 40
  man (unless you so badly overpower it that the rewards are trivial).
