Khivas_Carrick: Can Nightblade do the same? I mean, doing all three roles at any time whenever they want? Or they need more respecs compared to Templars?

Magika build NB can play any role in the end game depending on staff they use with no respec. On 30-40lev they cannot cause of lack of skills open.
Tank: 1h&b, 5 hvy+2 light, sap essense/funnel health + leaching attacks + VoB + inner fire for taunt other skills for your taste (and it will be good DPS tank)
PvE DPS: light armour + sap essense + destro
Heal: light + restro + sap essense with leaching attacks + funnel health
PvP: 1h&b/destro and really great choise of different builds

One example is the final boss of vet DSA, where (in the traditional strategy) the tank has to survive solo against the final boss for an extended amount of time.

This is doable. I completed vet DSA a few times as a Nightblade tank(prolly, the first in the world

Definitely, the first in NA DC). And we employed the "traditional" strategy. The trick is that we can avoid damage completely, so if everything is done right, that Nova that the boss drops on you is not an issue. And we can heal through that "pulling" move with the help of a resto staff.

Oh yeah, I also change Dark Cloak/Shadowy Disguise, using the latter for healing. Good for a critical Combat Prayer! And the armor/spellpen buff combined with that from Combat Prayer is a nice damage cushion.

Another one is Soul Siphon/Soul Tether.

I keep those abilities on funnel health, twisting path, and veil of blades.

My reasoning is that funnel health and refreshing path both gain ultimate faster due to healing. And veil of blades is far and away the better morph imo, and its something worth dropping frequently. As good as the heal synergy may be, I would rather have people synergise with overflowing altar. Especially the tank.

As I'm always off healing with funnel, I dont really have a reason to change mutagen. And I use HS with the current meta sometimes to solo veil in trials.

Sorry, I can't tell if you're using Twisting Path or Refreshing Path? Seems like you're using Refreshing and that was a typo.

I'm not familiar with Overflowing Altar... Undaunted skill morph, I'm guessing?

Actually, when healing I have Soul Siphon as the ultimate on my main bar. It charges extremely fast!

Edit: I'm quite sure that's all of the morphs I change when switching between dps/healer. It has been a while since I main healed (nightblade dps is too much fun!).

Yea, typo. :P
