OK the reason for the compartmentalisation (I made that word up ) of the classes when teamed is because of the way XP is aquired.

For example, I want to level elemental, so I go on a Plod Hunt, now this is good because with the right combo in the team, I should get 3K XP per kill.

Now, say there is no Healer in the team, but I can heal a bit, the fight may go like this :

Puller pulls, I heal him on the way back as a top up, then make a few casts of elemental spells, as the fight nears the end, the tank may need some more HP or Stamina, so I cast whatever is required, the fight ends and XP is rewarded, and suddenly I get 1.5K in Heal and 1.5K in Elemental.

Now I want to level Elemental, not heal, so in a way, thats wasted time/xp for me.

So we try to compose a team with maybe 2 melee, 2 nukers and a healer or two, we are all levelling the skills we want and getting our full quota of XP for the skill we want to level.

Hence the specialisation you have commented on.

Am I understanding you correctly?
