The Reason for Roles

They are normally given to adventurers but can be given to their pets in unusual circumstances

Actually giving direction on what you want the pet to do is very useful. Succubus cc is on a par with mage sheeping and Hunter off-tanking is a very useful last line of defence for the healers. If the pet owner is a newish player it helps to remind them to set pet to passive so it doesn't automatically go chasing after runners, mobs that shoot at the owner etc

but no role should be give to more than one member

given

Nobody should ever do the work of a role not assigned to him or her.

I'd dispute this. Intelligent players will adapt their strategies to the situation. Basically you're saying priests shouldn't wand (since they're healers not dps), warriors shouldn't Execute (tanks not dps) and dps shouldn't rescue the healer. Unless you have foreseen everything that can possibly go wrong you need to allow people some freedom to make intelligent choices

If you have your assigned roles are well in hand

delete are

you're job

it creates confusion with the party members

for

That's all my nit-picking, but I'd like to add I really like the logical argument presented in this section. From the perspective of a healer weary from arguing with various dual-wielding tanks it's most welcome :)
