    If i'm not doing anything but DPSing maybe. Tank is probably dead if they do more then a few mobs. It actually isn't hard to DPS in regular instances below 60. However once you get to 60 its room pulls only. On bosses I can actually DPS some times fine.

    However, its still nowhere near tank levels of damage. It shouldn't be.

    Once your gear is caught up and with proper cooldown management/pet usage, you should be able to approach 80-90% of your tank's DPS if they're in full STR gear (and usually surpass them if not) on any pull where you get significant DPS time. It's all about creating opportunities to DPS, and once you get used to that, you can easily do comparable damage to a similarly-geared tank's damage.

    Actually, it's probably better for the Healer to DPS than it is the tank. As tanks will put out DPS no matter what ( even in vit). A good healer will DPS and it will have a instant effect on the run as you go from 0 dps to some dps. and all healer's can do it...even past 60. SCH's can stone skin and aloqium with fairy heals and WHM can spam holy which has an AoE stun to it.

    But not all healer's should do it. ;x you gotta git gud first. Other wise the tanks, even the one's in vit, end up dead. ;( and being dead makes the run even slower.
