If they're bad/terrible... well, you know), tanks control the mobs around them and healers keep people alive (and DPS to assist in dungeon length). It's silly to say only the tank controls the flow.
    The only reason why I say this is simple. If the tank isn't holding it, aggro is all over the place and the healer is struggling. Too much gets on the healer, the healer dies, and then the party dies. Like it or not the tank DOES control the flow. Though to be honest the healer does as well, a good healer can basically drag the party over the "Duty Complete" line kicking and screaming. I have a problem with people dragging more than I'm pulling or what the tank is pulling, especially considering if asked in advance, "Small or Big pulls?" If I get an answer of "Small" as a tank or I give that answer as a healer (usually because I'm lagging) and you're doing that, then I will show you no mercy, the answer was already given.

    Two good DPS and a good healer can deal with a tank that is not performing well. A good tank can deal with big pulls if decent dps even if the healer is performing up to snuff. The pace is set by the group, not just a tank or a healer.
