Most of my wipes were caused by healers who did not healed me in time, because they were busy to dps to not be called out lazy. Mobs in dungeons could land a solid burst damage if you pull wall to wall due to the fact a lot of them autoattacks and have instant cast abilities to use against a tank.
With 5.0 changes tank got chopped a ton of deffensives from them, first and foremost protect that was 10-15% buff to deffensive stats, parry, block nerfed, several CD's gone, DRK and WAR incredible healing capabilities gone (war got part of it back at lvl 76).
Dungeons are significantly harder for me as a tank, the same dungeons i used to do before 5.0.

This means healers have to focus on healing more because we are more squishy.
If DPS are NOT doing THEIR job properly then healer has to use most of them MP in order to keep tank alive today. Exception is White mage because his aoe spell stun mobs and thus contributes to the tank deffences.
... what? No they didn't. First and foremost, you grossly overestimate Protect. It was barely worth casting half the time. Regardless, every single tank now has a CD on a 25 second recast. The Blackest Night and Raw Intuition both became incredible. Warrior also had a direct defensive buff since Defiance only increased their HP total not their defense. If anything, tanks are less squishy nowadays, provided they are properly rotating CDs. Doma Castle was harder than anything Shadowbringers threw at me so far.
