The problem I see with divvying up support roles to dps is I can see the problem with PUG in which DD stereotypically don't pay attention to whether a bus or jet is running them over. That is why so many play DDs, they involve less responsibility to play. Hopefully they tie all the support into direct damage abilities or it'll be something that annoys many tanks/healers.
Yeah I agree it can be kind of difficult to determine who is supposed to be responsible for buffing / debuffing, and even if you'll get someone with specific "desirable" powers for either in your group when you queue up with Duty Finder.
At least if there were a support role that was clearly defined then that person would be responsible for that duty, as opposed to having a DPS maybe kinda sorta be able to do it.
I can see this being a problem later on with higher tiered content, but not necessarily on the lower level dungeons where it should be just fine.
I'm kind of torn on this topic myself because I will be playing DPS for the first time, so I kind of want faster queues as a DPS as well as more involvement then just pew pew pew pew pew pew Limit Break pew pew pew...
