The 'unwritten rule' for non-tank pulls in dungeons

[DJMau]

I say if a healer or dps wants to pull go ahead, I'll gladly watch your tanking capabilities. Might learn something from it, even if it's common knowledge that your squishy self can't live past 10 seconds.

Incorrect. Tanks are the third wheel. Common knowledge is wrong in normal modes due to comparatively low incoming damage.

If a healer is confident enough to pull, they can likely healtank and take your job.

They either cause a wipe at this point and get kicked, or the tank that didn't push their one button should get kicked.

Ideally the tank takes the hint and picks up the pace or gets replaced by the party.

Dps that end up holding threat for a tank that just watched tend to be an easy yes vote when deciding to kick a tank.

Again I want to know what kind of tanks you are tanking with. A great/geared warrior tank on AoE pulls will dps on par with the better dpsers. They round them all up for the big pulls. I found for the most part well played dps classes are the rarity and I get so excited when I see one join that is going to be at or ahead of my heal dps...

Duty finder tanks and dps are the entire reason I main a healer now, even if I'd rather tank.

I've done all three roles, and the only role that can make up for global potato is healer.
