DPS is the job of DPS.

You seem to be under the impression that tank stance is the best mitigation in the game.

You mean that the best mitigation is killing things quickly? Don't talk to me like a newbie, I've been healing tanks a long time. Long enough to know that tanks going full on DPS require more heals from me unless incoming damage doesn't beat out the regen ticks, as in the case with over-geared content. This is fine though, so long as they are holding agro. I don't have a e-peen. I couldn't care less about my own DPS because it is not my primary role. If a tank wants to be more defensive, I'll DPS more. If they want to be offensive, I'll heal more. That adaptability is one of the great things about being a healer, and the DPS between the tank and myself will always be around the same.

Also, what other ability in the game gives tanks a perpetual 20% mitigation other than tank stance?
