Logic failure. If they only want to heal then you should only want to tank, but apparently that's too much work for some people. Newsflash people, healing is their primary job. DPS comes second to everything, and if you're sabotaging the group for the secondary characteristics, the fault lies with you, not with the healer.

There are plenty of reasons why a healer can't DPS, but there are no excuses for why a healer can't heal. There are absolutely no reasons EVER that a tank shouldn't be tanking and doing their utmost to mitigate damage when their healer is struggling.

As for "one out of seven" dictating the run, sorry but that already happens. So-called 'Princess tanks' that need everything done their way (not looking at anyone in particular) or they'll ditch. Tanks being a resource that despite SE's best efforts still seems to be in short supply these days. If people want respect, they need to earn it. That means respecting the players in your group as well. If your healer simply can't keep up because you're skipping mechanics, maybe it's time to play by the games rules instead of your own.

Arrogance breeds arrogance, and no one likes a conceited fool.
