Healers, how do you feel about DRK tanks?

I switched to DRK for this expac after my previous main (Ninja) got nerfed and from that perspective I have noticed during the levelling process for the first three dungeons you really need to be using TBN on trash in addition to rotating your mitigation and to anyone new to the job it's a definite learning curve.

That being said now I'm leveling a healer (whm) I haven't really noticed DRKs being harder to heal. I normally don't have to keep as close an eye on them as Gunbreakers who always felt more squishy and pron to giving you surpise heart attacks with superbolide

It's really on the players, not the job. Gnbs need to play Aurora/Arms Length on engagement, Camo/HoC, then use Nebula > Rampart. It only becomes a apparent problem if they burn a lot of their cooldowns together in one build up. HoC is a really strong ability spammed.

Thank you for the perspective and info. I wasn't 100% sure if it was a player skill issue or the job itself. When I played it I never found it difficult to mitigate myself but I haven't touched it since early ShB so I wasn't sure if my memory was correct, just knew that having GNBs has felt more touch and go but I'll own up to the fact I am a mediocre healer at best.
