Very nice read. Honestly I think they should have support threads like this for each role. Having the benefits, setbacks, and strategies discussed in each one. In my journey to getting to level 50 I only have one time I can recall that I had a lacking tank. It's not that the DPS's were rushing in before the Tank and catching aggro. It's that the tank could keep aggro is what the problem was.

He'd initiate the mob first then me and the other DPS would follow suit with the healer keeping everything stable. I have no idea the reason but the enemies would break focus from him mid way into the battle then set their sites on the healer. He eventually got frustrated and left. I'm guessing that one part of the tank role (My main being a Monk so I'm not familiar with the tank role) is keeping aggro right? If it was the DPS's fault I'd like to know the reason so I can be a better DPS and keep this from happening if that's the case.
