It's not an issue of class makeup or the "perfect group", as it was adapting to the fight. Some people multi-task better then others. This is bad comparison/argument. It's a question of the person playing the toons, vs the actual group.

Fights are also situational, warrior/druid/paladin have advantages one way, vs another way. Paladins aoe tank the best, but against same boss, will take more damage vs a warrior/druid, etc... (this is also a discussion onto itself.)
