    A lot of healers can't handle wall to wall pulls either; while leveling alts I've seen plenty of groups wipe because the healer takes upwards of 30 seconds to actually start healing, and by then the tanks usually dead.

    Big pulls can't be the default expectation for tanks when tanks can't be sure the group is competent. I think it's the healers responsibility to speak up if he wants big pulls, to reassure the group he can handle it; because at the end of the day the healer will be the xfactor. I've tanked plenty of stuff myself, and playing a game of "wonder if the healer sucks" during a wall to wall at the start of each roulette is annoying. So, speak up and ask for big pulls or hold your peace when they don't happen.

    Big pulls of 2 groups at time is not big, its mandatory otherwise like Shalan above you said, taking a tank into dungeon is pointless as healer could heal a dps no problem.

    I'm mainly talking about wall to wall pulls, but I've honestly even seen healers struggle with single pulls. Not wipes, but I've legitimately seen the tank die and need to be rezzed on a single pull on multiple occasions.

    There are lots of really bad healers out there, so, like it or not you may have to reassure the tank before he'll trust you can handle large pulls.
