Sometimes a potential wipe could turn out to be a win. My first time in Haukke Manor, we were fighting Lady Amandine when the tank and other DD go down (I was on Lancer at the time). Tank calls for a wipe & I figured the healer & I were quick to follow anyway, even though she had a sliver of health left. But thanks to awesome healing the two of us were able to down Lady Amandine and finish the dungeon, much to the tank's delightful chagrin. But, again, the boss only had roughly 5-15% health left.
