^^ This is why (Destiny)
Basically, what I posted above is confirmed when bungie says "we don't want you to have to have class x for a given encounter". a 3 man fireteam can lead to a tank, a healer, and a DPSer.
in WoW, really good tanks were hard to come by. Same with really good healers. Good DPS is what everyone always wants to be -- they want to be doing the damage, not healing their buddies or (often, but not always) tanking.
The golgoroth fight is a good example of this. People lean towards the one pool method because it's "easier". But i think it's also because it's more fun.
Would you rather be holding the gaze or DPSing him down in the pit?
Would you rather be cleaning up cursed thralls, keeping other people alive, or DPSing the boss?
DPS is fun. Healing and tanking is fun in it's own way, but DPSing is what most people really enjoy. So I can understand why they are approaching it that way. It would make certain classes, and builds, mandatory, especially at the end game.
