While maybe that's how SE intends for things to go, healing and tanking is rarely easy in general content. For some reason I see players that almost look like they're trying to take damage, like chasing people with AoE markers, running into and standing in damage, etc.

Saying tanking and healing is easy implies that everyone does their job correctly at all times, which is not the case. Sometimes when I'm healing I don't even have time to raise someone (even with Swiftcast) because if I stop for one second half of the DPS will die because they can't seem to avoid damage. And that has nothing to do with my ability to heal at all. Yesterday I was in Rabanastre and I pulled my alliance back from the brink of total annihilation (without LB) because somehow only the tank and I were left all of a sudden. It's not always a cakewalk.
