The majority of instances I can finish in less time than it takes me to get into them when I queue as DPS.

If I can't roll through a Heroic in under 45 minutes like I could in WotLK I don't care what kind of rewards they give out.
The vast, vast majority agree, which is why blizzard is in panic mode.
Perhaps. I can only speak for myself as to why I no longer subscribe.
All of this.

If what I've heard about the difficulty of CAT dungeons is true, how is this bribing tanks/heals going to have much effect?
I would surmise most tanks/heals are giving the dungeon finder a miss because they don't want to deal with bad DPS costing them time/money.
In WOTLK, tanking those dungeons only required good enough gear to be able to absorb 5 mobs beating on you. Other than HoR, and the odd mob in OK, no strategy was needed.
Apparently, that's not the case with CAT. Now, if you have drooling DPS or a mediocre tank/healer (opposite of what you are playing), you will be facing multiple deaths.
Good tanking or good healing aren't just about the tank or healer. WOTLK let you get around this with simpleton dungeon mob design. Can't do that any more. I think tanks and healers are STILL gonna avoid the RDF like the plague.

"We don't feel the tanking and healing roles have any inherent issues that are causing the representation disparity"
BULLISTH Blizzard is not playing the same game we are/were.
edit:
also i highly doubt this will work in the long run, it will be a boon queue times for dps won't be 45 minutes probably 15-25 minutes but it won't last majority of tanks and DPS playing as tanks will get the rewards and go back to queueing with guildies only or not at all

LoL, so freaking stupid.
They now have to play people to play their way. How about you stop being retards and make the roles enjoyable again?
Idiots.

How can they be so headstrong? If people aren't queueing for certain roles, there's probably a very good reason for that. Address the reason, don't try to bribe them into it.
As much as I like pets, I'm not going to heal until they make it fun again.

I agree with everything said in this thread so far. What is wrong with them? I have met a few people in my life that were this ridiculous in that they refused to see reality....but this is a corporation filled with people and at least a few of them have to be smart enough and open-minded enough to understand that they have major role playability issues causing their hideous que times.

Actually there is nothing intrinsically wrong with the roles. The players are to blame for their own stupidity and ineptitude, but unfortunately as our service provider Blizzard is expected to come up with a fix for broken WoW players...
Sadly moving on to Rift/GW2/SWTOR/*insert upcoming title* will have no effect. The selfish, bad players that ruin PUGs in WoW will find their way to your new game too.
The only answer is to be a bad dps too so you find comfort in being part of the majority, or shoulder the Herculean task of carrying these nubcakes on your shoulders as one of the roles that are held accountable for the groups survival by the vocal majority.

If we are talking about airplane pilots or Doctors and surgeons, then yes, I agree with you 100%. The people are absolutely at fault and should be the best of the best and perfect at what they do. But....this is a video game. If you take them that seriously that everyone has to be Derek Jeter to be able to play a video game then I pity you. You, sir, need a life.
It is a video game and should be fun. If you want it exclusionary, then that is fine but market the game that way. I think that is not what a lot of folks want WoW to be though. Just the devs and a very small minority of MMO players.
