That's cool. Your HPS still isn't enough to sustain the tank through large pulls in those early levels. You don't have regen or any oGCDs to help. The 2.5s GCD + cast time is actually more than enough time for your tank to melt while your casting your saving cure spell if he pulls too many. The attack power of enemies doesn't lessen as their HP pools drain. The damage an enemy causes doesn't cease until it is dead. That is why in those early levels, your best means of damage mitigation is by eliminating the number of targets attacking the tank; but you can lessen the need for that by pulling fewer enemies. AoE just isn't strong enough to reduce the threat level at a pace that is reasonable for the group to handle.
