    Depends on the fight. As a WHM I've actually "tanked" (aka kited) bosses after rs tank has left during the fight. It can be done. It's just slow and tedious.

    Mostly in faceroll dungeons, overgearing it like a champ (Amdapor Keep with 4 DPS, I did that). But in your case, it also depends on the healer. In a general sense, leaving the few exceptions aside, the tank is the person who must stay alive if you want to everybody do their job instead of kitting, holding back, running away, ignoring rotations, dying, etc. In raid content it's impossible. But this conversation is taking the wrong path. I find the debate in general a nice mental exercise and it helps me to perceive how the community sees the other player's attitudes/roles.

    I do think the healer role is another role that could be a nice leader. As of the rest of the things you've said, read above.

    EDIT: I just noticed, unless that's an alt, you don't play neither warrior or paladin. Or WHM.
