These are ALL on the DPS. If a DPS dies to these, that's ALL ON THEM.

If a DPS isn't even trying to keep themselves alive, why should I?
Like many things in life, compromise is king really, Savage (and coil before it) is full of examples where it was always to the groups advantage if there was a way for DPS to flat out ignore mechanics where possible. A11S was a good recent example of this where stacked barriers and a cooldown allowed BLMs to outright ignore major movement mechanics during their opener at the start of the encounter. Stuff like this was a big part of SE's growing disdain for stoneskin and it's eventual removal IMHO.
