"it would really really help with random queue times and would let all those folks who are invested in their mains but wouldn't mind trying tanking/healing a chance to do it. "

If someone wants to play a tank or healer, they use a class that can be a tank or healer. Even if you sat there and made every single class in the game viable for tanking, it wouldnt fix anything in the long run. The social aspect of WoW dying is leading to less people wanting to tank, not that their "favorite" class isnt able to fill that role. Tanks have to take extra responsibility and develop a thick skin, and not everyone can do that.

As cool as it would be tanking on a Shaman with totems, a dw rogue who tanks with swords or daggers, or a Warlock even tanking in Metamorphosis, it wouldnt improve queue times past the first 6 months when those dps classes try tanking, then realize it takes actual work and responsibility to do.
