I have had healers that are terrified of healing dungeons because they get tanks that pull large packs, die, then cuss out the healer. I'm not saying that this is the best rotation out there, but a way to be more defensive possibly? Does it do that? I would happily be more defense orientated to help build a healers confidence up.

I also understand that in YOLO groups you can BW Quietus blah blah and do more dps to your hearts content, and that is great.

Maybe if your healer is not confident, you should be pulling smaller? I don't get what you are trying to argue. Ask at start if you can pull more, if not that's fine too. So far from my end, the healers I am paired with can do huge dps while still healing me through big pulls. Healers have all the tools to do dps and heal, there is no excuse on that.

I have had healers tell me that they wish their tanks would maybe focus on being more defensive so that they could have more DPS uptime. The tank would do less DPS and the healer could possibly do more DPS to balance it out. I'm sure at the top end of skill this doesn't matter and both will push max damage. I am not trying to argue anything in this paragraph, this is just what I have had told to me.

Most DF healers I get can also handle big pulls as well. I do not use this rotation for that and focus on damage.

Not every healer is a pro. I have had a couple of healers that want to try dpsing in a dungeon (due to our community calling you shit if you don't), but are scared that they will get a tank that mass pulls everything (and going balls to the wall dps) and are about to give up healing because they can't practice. I will happily use this rotation for them to be more tanky to help them build their confidence. Please note that I am not doing large pulls, maybe 5 mobs top.

This rotation was just an idea to be more defense orientated on the rare chance that you needed it, not the standard daily dungeon spam.
