I think the point of this statement was not that because of cooldowns and utility skills a pure class could match the healing or tanking ability of a hybrid in that spec, but rather they are a match for the DPS versions of those classes using cross spec abilities.

For example, between drains, soul harvest and a few other tricks a warlock can probably heal themselves about as well as a shadow priest could. Another example from personal experience, I know as a rogue I get a WHOLE lot more out of Recuperate than my cat druid ever did from shifting out of form to use some neutered heals.

So saying "Well, Pure DPS should be better cause hybrids have their tank/healing abilities to fall back on" is less true today than it was in the past.
