    Melee DDs play thier role very differently in HNMs vs EXP. If you told a MNK to DD Tiamat like a traditional TP burn party you're going to get your tanks roar'ed out the wazoo and the mnk will end up dead.
    Before the Melee burn trend on fights like Vrtra, Kirin and Bahamut a MNK typically just sat in the corner boosting and unleashing Chi Blast whenever it was up.
    Rdms don't play thier typical Pink Mage role at endgame either. Dynamis they are the sleepers, sky...well sky they can solo. JoL they can hold Phuabos to keep JoL from spawning 3 at a time.
    Blms in particular is very different from thier EXP roles. Modern Blms solo pretty much from 55-75; which means unload all your MP as fast as you can. HNMs we coordinate our spells with skillchainers and/or other BLMs. It's not always tossing free nukes.
    PLDs are still tanks, but thier sub job differs and how they play is different. /Drk and /Nin are far more common than /War on HNMs.
    I'll agree that the typical role they fill is similar to what they did for 75 levels; but exp does not give you an accurate view of what they'll do in endgame. Not by a long shot.
    DDs still DD, regardless of the methods used. Blm, Rng and Sam are all DDs, that is their role, to kill.

    Tanks still tank, whether it's staying still and fighting face to face or voking/flashing then running fo' yo' rife. As long as a tank needs to keep hate, his role is tanking.

    Brds, Rdms, Whm, they weaken the enemies, and strengthen the allies. They support the DDs and help them kill faster while they support the tanks by helping them stay alive.

    The methods and tactics may change, but the roles always stay the same. DDs kill, Tanks keep hate, Support keep everything running smoothly.
