many players also look for cast times or think that they need to be at 100 % all of the time. Or think that they can ignore mechanics, or that healers can ignore mechanics ( healer privilege does not exist sadly) or think that healing range is infinite. I could go on. Yes I absolutely agree that healers can make mistakes, but sometimes it's on the other people in the party as well.
