    Considering the sheer quantity of HQ Max Potions coming from PotD, and the fact that they can be used oGCD? YES. If you eat an AoE to push DPS, nom a Potion so we can ALL keep DPSing. It's just common courtesy. Or, in the case of BLM, just pop your wall/ward for whatever you plan to eat. Or, melee/BRD, Second Wind, Bloodbath if you have it, stay at full HP regardless.

    These are all things GOOD players do. Which is why you never actually see it, or expect it, with the DF crowd. Your job, regardless of role, is to make each instance as painless and quick as possible for the other 3/7/23 players. To do otherwise is rude and selfish.

    Respectfully I disagree. Personally I never carry or use potions, maybe ethers. But who is the high authority who decided our "job" is to get every instance over with as quickly as possible? The posters on these forums? Lol. I want to savor my runs. Not rush through them. I want to relax, not stress out that I may not be pushing out that extra 0.0000023% dps or making the healers job 0.00005% easier. (Numbers are sarcasm but you get my point.) These forums hardly represent the majority of players and most I run into in my average daily DF runs don't care if your Dps are using ethers/potions/ healers are dpsing. To your average player that just wants to run and have fun, relaxing playing the game, they dont care about this stuff. At least not enough to mention it in the chat (in my personal experience and from what I've heard from friends who also play the game).

    I mean at the begining ok, why not. After a certain amount of time in the patch, doing a 20+ min expert run is just a pain.

    Could be a playstyle thing. A 20 minute Expert Roulette sounds fine to me but it's been over a month since I've run that roulette. Even back when I did do it I wouldn't go more than a couple of times a week to avoid being burned out on the dungeons.

    As for Healer dps it really seems like a bigger deal on the forums than in the game. In my time playing I've only had one group tell me not to dps while I was healing and in that case I had queued with the tank so we just assured the other players that we were a team and knew what we could handle.
    I can't recall ever seeing a non dpsing healer insulted. The only one I remember bothering me was one that spent most of the pull jumping in a circle then complained that they were bored since I as the tank wasn't taking much damage.

    As Moomba33 said, it is indeed a play style thing. In recent days I've found I get more enjoyment out of running the content for the sake of running it rather than running it as fast as possible for the tomes / other rewards. We will get showered in free tomes right before 4.0 anyway so why rush?
