Tanks should just assume and go. Assume your WHM is capable of roughly cure 2 spam, make a pull based on that, then adjust accordingly. Most of the time, this assumption won't impact your runtime. Most healers can spam a button, and cure II spam is usually enough for the dungeon's initial wall-to-wall pull.

You make a good point it's true not all tanks gauge the DPS, Normally , well a tank rule , pull two sets gauge DPS, and go from there. Some tanks let their level and gear go to their head -.-. On the other hand if the pull is a big, tank is barely on average gear, and a healer, specially WHM, go in the middle to spam holy, also forget that IT IS THEIR JOB HEAL. By all means I appreciate a healer who is willing to DPS, just not choke him self out of MP and blame the tank after. As a Healer I check tank and DPS gear to get an idea and then call out to gauge DPS. As a tank I check gear as well to gauge and pull two sets first. It doesn't take a genius to understand a basic concept. It hurts even more when I see a DRK Large pulling and drops grit to help DPS as an excuse or a WAR not putting up Defiance because they are over confident. Over all it also depends on servers. Legacy servers are more hardcore gamer styles...and more players with too much ego.

Now for all those healers that are out there and want to continue complaining, swap to tank for a while. For all those tanks that blame healers SWAP to healing for a while. Lets see how you guys enjoy meeting stuck up players who are on your role and act the same.
