Great... more newbs will come into dungeons in full STR accessories and melt from mob crits before a healer can even cast anything.

Honestly though, this (common) response is such an over reaction. You don't even need a tank in any 3.0 dungeons anymore. Regardless of what accessories a tank is wearing, if they're getting killed off before the healer had a chance to heal them up, then the healer needs to learn how to play or needs to pause Netflix more frequently.

Honestly I think this depends a lot on the healer's gear and also if they dps. If the healer is all in unupgraded law gear and/or fresh 60, and the tank is wearing all STR and doing super pulls and not using cooldowns correctly - then yes, I can see that tank dying to a few crits within seconds on those pulls he shouldn't have been doing to start with, especially if the tank is also new to 60 and in not that great of gear. In these cases, healing output can't keep up with damage taken and time available given healing cast times. All things need to be considered and often a new healer won't be able to keep up with the damage the new tank is taking -- especially if these new tanks mimic the experienced ones and keep trying to tank trash pulls in deliverance and STR gear with all 160 gear.

Personally since my PLD is only lvl 50, I'd never try to give advice or say how easy tanking is at 60 --- I think the same should go for anyone saying how bad a healer would need to be or how easy it is if they don't also have a healer doing exactly what they say is so easy to do.
