Because people were sick of that mentality. Warriors are the only real tanks, priests are the only real healers, mages are the only real caster dps.... That died with Vanilla and for good reason. No one wants to play a game where you can't do things without the "proper" setup.

It's bad enough when no one wants to play tanks or healers. When someone actually did pick up a tank or healer that wasn't a pure class, no one would ever let them actually run as a tank or healer, only as support. Here is an honest to god, everyday situation my husband and I would have in Vanilla -

RandomDPS - LFG STRAT!!
Husband {tankadin} - We'll go
RandomDPS - LF2M STRAT! Need tank and heals!
Me {resto druid} - Um....we ARE tank and heals.
RandomDPS - ROFL!! Right!
You have been removed from the group.
RandomDPS - LFG Strat!

This is a game of min-max and Blizzard has spent a lot of time and effort to get away from the old mindset of "in a pinch, you can use hybrids to..." There is no longer "Pure" or "Hybrid" classes. There's just specs.
