Why not create healing or tanking challenges, where support roles could test their skills and get a reward if they are good? Or even get ranked?
Weird. I use tanks to get gear for DPS. Treasure Hunter due to points going in that tree anyway, and very fast dungeon pops.

You are apparently not trying to get trials gear. with 8-9 DPS per trial and 1 tank, it's way easier to grind trials as a DD. Also, tanking pugs in a trial absolutely sucks.
Because the whole point of tanking and healing is to convert uncontrolled situations into controlled situations.
Giving us controlled situations to test our tanking and healing is by itself counter productive.
