How about you get off your high horse and stop telling other people how to play their game? People can pull as much as they want, healers can DPS or heal as much as they want and if other players in the group have a problem it's THEIR issue to address and come to a common agreement, not YOURS.
I apologize for my harsh tone but entitled feeling people like you make me sick.

WHM here

Benediction is NOT meant to be used on trash pulls.

You're doing it awfully wrong. Benediction is perfect to use mid holy spam.

Also I do hate you tanks. Why? Blame 2.4-2.5 warriors and the tank deeps meme while doing large pulls. Nothing was worse than have a sad excuse of tank go full str, not use a single cooldown and try to pull big like a good tank.
What was the most annoying is that people jumped on this bandwagon because youtubers did it and the hype was all over about tank dps, but when they read the guide of going full str they completely missed the part where they're tanks and defensive cooldowns must be always used.

The dps meme was so dank i've even had to babysit a goddamned PLD on full str with sword oath on during a large pull on wanderer's palace HM during a expert run (you know the typical double pull after the 1st boss? yea that one), it was just ridiculous.

Dungeons aren't too bad. If they pull too much and the group wipes, they typically tone it down a little.

Alexander raids, on the other hand - I downright loathe tanks in these. Why? I'll call it 'tank ego': you always got this one tank that HAS to take all of the damage. In their minds, the other tank is a lawn ornament. If both of the healers are geared to do it and everyone avoids unnecessary damage, then that is fine and dandy. Duty Finder groups (at least the ones I get) don't do that, though. Even if it's apparent that people's gear isn't sufficient for a one-tank-takes-all setup, they'll try again. I've even seen, on occasion, one of these tanks chastising the other tank for following fight mechanics and taunting off the huge tank buster hit.

I have the exact opposite problem: where the offtank decides that I should try to solotank it without letting me know about it.

Just because I could survive it doesn't mean that I want to put that to the test. I'd much rather follow the intended mechanics.

My biggest beef with offtanks is when I say I'm gonna solo tank the entire thing, then they decide to soak/provoke, etc. I already had my mitigation up. Your wasting my mitigation. YOU'RE WASTING MY MITIGATION! If someone decides to provoke/soak/whatever after I already declared I'm gonna solo it, then they can solo it.

If my healer hates me I know I'm playing my Job right.

I hate everyone.

Had this the other day with Vortexer.Got to 3 stacks and i knew the healers were struggling.Switched to Sword Oath.Dark refused to provoke off me and i died.Was useing migitations also.There response was 'sorry i thought you knew what you were doing'
Told them they should be swapping on 3 stacks which resulted in them completly flaming me and telling me that i should be taking way more stacks than that.

If you say that you'll solo it, then fine. I've got no issue with that. I can focus on using my cooldowns to pump out more damage.

But if the main tank says nothing, then I'm going to assume that tankswaps are needed. I'm not going to risk the boss deciding that, after a Tank appetizers, those Healers look especially delicious.

Agree with this, you dont need bene for bosses in dungeons lol. Big pulls is where it's at.
