    Healers really aren't in the greatest position to be determining pull size for a pug, so it isn't really a fair question to a healer to begin with. If they say large pulls are okay and a wipe occurs, it can make the healer feel as if the party is holding them responsible, regardless of whose fault it was. This can quickly snowball into a healer pointing blame, the other party member getting defensive, and the group disbanding/waiting to replace a party member.
    Uuuuh. What? Doom and gloom much? That's a very dramatic escalation you assume there...
    Asking healers if they are find with big pulls is mostly a courtesy. It makes no real difference to DPS except what rotation they will be using, so why would you need to ask them? And if you pull big without asking and the healer isn't very experienced...

    @Besame & hynaku: Big pulls are REALLY easy to heal, especially on WHM. It takes practice but it's really, really easy.
