Take it easy, Tanks.

So I did my first Expert Roulette (Kugane Castle) as WHM today and... meh.

Very first thing, the tank pulls two groups at once. Without even testing me. I'm wearing 297 (WHM Lv70 Quest gear on the left, Verity on the right) and it's my first time as WHM in the instance (though they couldn't have known that; I've tanked it on PLD before). We wipe on the first pull because I was 0.5 sec short on a Cure2 and the DRK drops dead. I apologize, and they don't seem to be in a bad mood about it, so cool.

Well, we go back in and the rest of the run is rather stressful, but nothing too bad until right after the 2nd boss, where he decides again to pull two whole groups of those crossbow+bomb mobs. He somehow loses threat on two of them and so I'm getting plugged with crossbow bolts, one of the DPS pulls one of the ones that was on me and now both me and a DPS are half dead, I'm chain-casting Cure2s and then... *WHAM*. Interrupted. The DRK drops dead before I get my next Cure2 out (I already used Tetragammaton, and Assize was on cooldown IIRC, not that Assize is capable of keeping the tank alive for ~6 seconds anyways even if it were up.

To the tank's credit, they apologized and admitted that was their mistake.

But, if we had just pulled single groups, the whole run would have went without a wipe and we would have saved 5 minutes, easy.

EDIT: The tank had about 45k health so I am going to assume mostly Verity with some Omega, because that's what my PLD has and I have ~45k too.
