Group Composition Meta and Class Balance

Just wondering what everyone thinks of the group meta right now.
Everyone min/max's everything these days, and right now (PvE) meta seems to be Tank, 2x Cleric, 2x Bard and 3 DPS. Does this seem out of whack to anyone else?
The dependency on the 3 core classes taking up 5 spots of 8 seems like a long term problem to me.
Random thoughts:
I get sub-classes are coming but from how they've been described, they are an extra flavour mostly and don't get spells/abilities from the core class.

Random thoughts:
- I can see why you'd go Cleric x2 for safety and the ability to do massive pulls, but in a year after launch will enough people be playing Cleric (it's pretty one-dimensional)?
- Perhaps Bard should be reworked so only 1 is required in a group to have the same impact (mana+damage melodies)? It's already flawed in that there are only 3 of 5 you use.
- Not all DPS are created equal when considering an 8 man group composition.
