    And if you can salvage the situation with a tank LB, why not do it?

    Have I said not to? As far as I can tell, I've only said that you shouldn't be in that situation. If you're in the situation, obviously try to make the best of it, buy why would you be in that situation?

    Because we don't live in a perfect world where everyone does what they're suppose to?

    You said it in your very first response and you've implied it in others.

    Because as others have mentioned, shit happens. And it isn't always the fault of low DPS. It doesn't really matter why you might need to use the tank LB if using it can secure a win. If you wipe anyway, then worry about the cause.

    How is not killing the clouds in time not the fault of low DPS? Either the DPS are all alive and atrociously bad, or they're dead because they and/or the healers messed up. The second is more understandable, but still shouldn't be happening. If none of the DPS died and you still had to tank LB to save the raid from clouds, then most or all of those DPS players need to just start over from square one.
