And read what Micah wrote there - they arent asking you to "pick up after them", theyre telling you they will leave you behind and let you die if you dont keep up. Im normally a DPS. Given the choice of following the slow tank or the fast healer, im with the healer - theyre the one who'll be keeping me alive after all.
It depends if the healer is good enough to heal the dungeon without said tank. When it comes to leveling dungeons, I've been in instances where the tank left, and the healer was decently geared, but couldn't keep the party alive because I think that person couldn't press buttons enough to keep the dps and his/her self up. Some instances are when Titan-Egi was tanking and still the healer couldn't keep it up.

I've seen a lot of terrible or mediocre healers that I've been healing most of my Expert Roulettes almost as much as I tank them.
