I agree with your basic theory: that tanks and beakers have more to do than DPS. However, it is not the fault of players, because it's human nature to be lazy. Especially when playing a game during leisure time.

Blizzard needs to make those roles more attractive through actual game mechanics. Such as, cheap and effective aggro-management tools, and non-reactive self-heals for ALL DPS specs. This would take pressure away from tanks and healers from having to babysit DPS that mess up and allow them to focus on 1 job.

It will play havoc with PvP balancing, but then, no one said it should be easy to run an MMO.
