Usually when I tank and Isee my health dropping low I'll watch what the healer is doing, if it looks like they know what they're doing, I don't worry and I just carry on without doing anything different. If it looks like they are struggling then I maay adjust my tanking. I might also observe their gear, because if they look like a high end raider, that give me an indicator that they're more likely in control and if the gear is low, I'll know I'm dealing with a lower geared healer. I also do the same with the tank when I'm healing them, because it might help indicate what I'm also able to get away with too.


But yeah, until the healer actually runs into trouble, I'd trust them. And 1 or 2 deaths or wipes is not a big deal.
