I looked at the party comp, and we had a Bard with us, so I knew I could do some grouping with the mobs. But I am always careful with the bees. I've found even if you focus or mark them, they don't always go down first, especially if you have members who use AoEs in groups. As well as our healer was new, so I didn't want to go crazy. I did try the two groups before the last boss (6 mobs) but I died as the healer couldn't keep up (I used all my CDs and moved as best I could). Maybe that wasn't a good spot?

As for how new I am to tanking, I would say I've been doing it for a while, and am more comfortable on PLD and WAR when tanking over DRK and GNB.

But I will keep what was said in mind. Everyone was nice in the party, so I can't complain about that. I just was a bit confused.
