To all 3.0 Tanks

most of the dungeons in HW, have gates, so you can't pull *to much* usually. i'm not main healer, and havn't tried healing any HW stuff yet, but it always amazed me in ARR, how any healer could fail at speedruns. well the be fair, i found WHM to be really sucky, so i couldn't do SR with WHM, but with SCH it was so easy. and i was tanking in speedruns, and other WHM did it perfectly fine.
i tanked for semi large pulls, in HW, and some average geared healers, have kept me up just fine on my DRK, so i don't understand why some overgeared healers can't, or why ppl are whining about DRK being squishy...you got like 5 def CD (counting war cross-class) dark dance is like 50% chance to dodge with dark arts, and dark passenger that can blind all mobs, with dark arts, so basically most of the mobs won't even hit you, for 20sec - it's crazy if healers can't keep up with all that.
Ofc DPS matter too, since if the fight draws out to much, tank will loose CDs, and healers will run out of MP; there's an awful lot of awful players, in DF, these days.
I usually feel the healer, out, before i start pulling more - often they seem to have problem healing me, even on the first 2-mob-pull!! so i'm just nope...not pulling more than that.
I mean, if healers could just do their job, and heal, instead of wannabee DPS, it would be easier for tank to know how much they can safely pull - then again, if you get 2 melee, there's not much reason to pull large groups.

It really depends.
Yesterday I was running Sastasha HM with my i150+ SCH, the whole time before the DRK was speedrunning, and all was fine. Then he pulled the whole last room before Kraken. He was decently geared as well, but I just couldn't keep up with the damage, by the time my Physic finished casting, he has lost more HP than it could have healed him for, unless it crit. I even spent all my Aetherflow stacks on Lustrate. And yet he still died. No idea if he was using his CDs wrong, or dodging the AoE wrong, or if I did something wrong (though there was not much more I could have done, Eye for an Eye would have helped, sure, but I HAD to heal on CD because he would have died anyways, there was no not-casting downtime).
So yeah, sometimes it just doesn't work.
