tanks not using cooldowns?

I apologize for being condescending but there is only so many times I can take you disagreeing with me by making a completely irrelevant point. At no point whatsoever did I say CC should be used as often as you seem to think I did. It is a nice way to prevent a wipe during a bad pull instead of just yelling and blaming tanks and healers. I repeated that several times and even spelled out that I am not making a larger general statement about using CC as often as possible.

I also love the fact that I'm now being labeled despite the fact that I've had to argue against: "let them die to learn a lesson", "healing is so easy in this game", DF groups can not coordinate, people that claim to speak for the DEVs, etc...

I understand this is the tanking subforum. My original post was a reply to your comment in which you were summarizing the thread. Half of the bullets of your summary were about what HEALERS can do... So I guess I should apologize for reading your summary if anything. But I am glad I was able to help you learn something today

I'm still learning this game. I like it. I'm all for a speed run. I screwed up last night because a new person needed the Cactuars in Cutter's Cry when I ran though them to port. But there's also a MMO learning gap here that is accepted with this blissful ignorance that is really annoying. I don't like the "we must AoE or wipe" mentality in dungeons. DPS can contribute to keeping everyone alive too by doing more than just blasting AoEs in a bad situation.
