Well, see, if say a PLD is popping Clemency constantly because they don't trust their healer... then the damage lost from missed Requiescats, Holy Spirits, and having to spam Riot Blade to get MP back faster is greater than the damage lost from healing a bit more. They are actually making the dungeon slower when they create a situation in which the tank doesn't trust their healer.

Tank and Healer make a team, and this team functions far better when they trust each other. Sure, they can just go lone wolf towards each other, but that's not productive for anybody in the group. When I'm treating the thing as if I'm trying to solo heal myself, I'm wasting a LOT of DPS output doing it. But yet that's exactly what I'm going to do if I don't trust the random healer I got in my group, because my job is to keep mobs off of other people and also to stay alive while doing it. If I don't trust the healer to keep me alive, then I'm going to do everything in my power to keep myself alive, regardless of my DPS output (or lack thereof).
