A tank's concern

[Tillen]

Is this a problem that I am personally at fault with, or were these just some bad healers who don't know how to do their job?.

In the scenarios you have described, then it is bad healers plain and simple. Folks can analyze, "what-if", look for excuses, and blame the META all day. But at the end of the day if someone dies due to gradual loss of HP, then its the healer's fault. Sure folks do dumb things and get themselves killed, but if the tank dies to damage taken then its the healers' fault...plain and simple. Circumstances don't matter, under geared, tank didn't use cooldowns, tank pulled too much, tears tears tears always crying. Healers are equipped to heal under the most austere conditions so blaming the tank is sad...and I main the worst of the three healers!

I main SCH and only wiped on the 67 dungeon on first run cause it was a bitch. WHMs and ESPECIALLY ASTs have NO...ZERO, NOT ONE excuse to wipe a party or let a tank die. If it happens, that's on them. Healers heal, and then DPS second. If they don't know how to rotate between the two, that's on them.

Keep on tanking!.
