Tanks Letting DPS Die

[Chronons]

If you pull aggro on a tank, you:
- did single target during an aoe encounter (your fault)
- pulled mobs tank hasn't attacked yet on your own (your fault)
- used every cooldown at your disposal and dps'd like a mofo while the tank was corralling a weird pull (your fault)
- didn't watch the emnity list to see that you were approaching # 1 (your fault)
- knew you were going to pull aggro and did it anyway (your fault)
- annoyed the tank somehow (probably your fault)

All I see is people saying they should have awesome tanks who let them do all the dps they want to. Tough nuts. Tanks have to deal with netflix healers and braindead dps, you can watch your emnity when you dont get lucky and get someones raid static MT.

Regarding tanks not leaving dps stance to hold aggro; This is only a bad thing if the dps lost by the healer having to heal is greater than that being provided by the tank remaining in dps stance. As long as you dont die, its not a dps loss for the dps player to take damage (it is a loss only if the healer has to heal them to prevent death).

People seem to forget its not the healers job to keep you at full hp, its not the tanks job to make sure you never have aggro - its their job to keep you alive. There are three kinds of dps losses: death, tank stance, and healing. Optimal play means avoiding them all.
