I'd say good tanks are more difficult to find then good healers in a 25 man raid, you need 2 -3 tanks, but about 6 healers, meaning there will be more healers in general to fill that gap.
Remember, I said GOOD tanks, not being able to find some tank.

I'd say DPS, most tanks and healers are good in my experience.

This!
As a tank, DPS is what makes my life hard. Is "DPS on skull" so hard of a concept?
Alos when DPS goes pew pew on a the wrong mob and out aggros me, they will to try to kite it all the way back to the instance portal! Vs, bringing the mob to me.
Really DPS, Tanks like mobs. If you have any mob that you do not want to play with any more, Please give it to us! we will play with it.
As a Lock there is some tanks who I wish had more AoE threat. I love DK and hate Warriors. But if i out aggro them it is my fault.
For a healer I do not see skill stopping them. It is just all spec and gear.
Set your self on follow on a range DPS who is not afk.
If the green bar is full don't mash buttons
If the green bar goes away, Select the bar as your target and mash buttons
If there is some bad stuff that you are standing in the dps you are following
should
move.
Ok, ok, healing is a little harder.
But come on! Just don't play "how low can you go" with my health!

I was about to say dps....but out of the 2 choices given, my server often has trouble finding good tanks.
There's more often some retarded tank who doesn't know how to use his aggro gaining abilities, like Paladins who don't Consecrate, or Warriors who only spam Heroic Strike or something.
There's also those painfully undergeared tanks who are below the defense cap...those pugs usually don't go well.

Both can be difficult to find but good dps is the hardest as other people have mentioned.

I don't have any problem finding a healer since i'm a dps with a healer dual spec. I've seen in BG's that it has gotten much harder to get tanks (Alterac) or healers since the double-spec arrived though.
I don't do that much pugs so i don't know about tanks.

I would say tanks since wotlk came out every dk that levels to 80 thinks he can just ding 80 and walk into any heroic and tank it (with there leveling dps gear).
Healers are hard to find cause just about everyhealer is guilded up and does not need to pug.
Dps yes there are some fail dps but you can get by in a heroic with all your dps doing 1000 or less dps. (that and they are very easy to replace 5 seconds and you have a new dps)
Dps has got to be the most mindless thing in wow i mean my computer fried so i had to use a old p4 computer that was about 6 years old i was getting a avg of 6 frames per second and about 400ms and i was still able to pull of 3-3.5k dps on boss fights (some movement fights were not fun)
There is no way i would have been able to heal or tank with such a low fps or response time.

I'm in a guild so I just have to ask/answer to sombody asking.
About DPS being al noobs. You think its fun to do 3k+ DPS as a furywarriorin heroics and stil see mobs go down slow cause the other 2 are doing only 1200 or somthing...trust me for a DPS it feels awsome too to do a run with 3x 3k+ DPS(looks over at his rogue and enh shamanbuddy)
Bad healers is somthing I find rarely. Bad tanks same thing in PuG's at 80 that is. I complete about 99% of the runs I start(no exageration) tanking is piseasy though and tbh, healing aint much harder.
bad DPS<average DPS<tank/healer<good DPS
Just wanne say with that that it's harder to be a execlent DPS compared to a tank/healer in a heroic.
raidtanking is piseasy, even easier then doing average DPS if you ask me.
Won't comment on my lv 71 ex-holy priest, sick of DK's in green DPS gear thinking they can tank AN at lv 70...when you spamheal him with 900spelpower greater heals and he stils dies then I know im not the problem.

I tanked AN at level 71 in dps gear on my dk :)
Healing can very from very easy (good tanks and dps that are smart) to very hard i have had multiple heroics where the tank can;t keep aggro or keyboard turns and the mobs end up behind the tank or worse yet the dps either pull aggro or decide that the tank is not going fast enough or that the healer does not need to drink so they decide they need to pull instead of the tank.
Doing dps is so carefree most of the time all of the dps could just /dance in the corner and the instance would still work. As dps you don't ever have to care about the well being of the rest of the party and best of all your almost never blamed for a wipe even if it was your fault.

Its hard to find good dps, most heals or tanks are good at what they do.
