    Divine Veil does NOT provide a shield for the tank that uses it. It only provides shields for everyone else within range.

    Also: The amount of healers I've seen who have NO idea what that means/is - I even have a macro telling them to heal me to trigger the shield, but like 70% of the time I have to cast cure on myself to not let it go to waste... so yeah, I wont drop my tank stance for a healer who cant throw me a single healing spell within 20 seconds (yes, its 30, but at 10 I'll just trigger it) to give everyone a shield... I would love to pull more dps and play "better" but I'm not taking that risk in DF... I rather spend like one more minute in that dungeon if it prevents a wipe...

    I've been guilty of this - mainly from being in DPS stance during a small amount of down time and knowing the said tank can trigger it themselves when they really don't have any other reason to use Cure or Clemency. Other than me failing to do my main job which is to heal and/or shield the party, depending on which healer I'm currently using. Most tanks pop the cooldown very little time before raid wide damage goes out, too. Especially being a fan of precasting heals, they tend to come out as the damage is done or slightly after.
