i would say that the unpopular not taking sometimes more of a conservative approach on any given decision on the spur of the moment especially in a DF with a complete stranger. It's more of apply that to every single person on every single run and given them no other other option. No matter how good they are, no matter how longer they have played, no matter which healer they pick, they stare at so many healing options that often aren't needed and keep hitting that 1 key.

And for that situation that you describe? Sometime it's fine to wipe. Really it is. This is the sometime the most wipe adverse MMO I've ever seen yet it can be the most forgiving game. I 've played games where once you enter a dungeon, once you wipe, the boss vanishes. POOF. Plus you lose a run from your weekly quote. What do we lose here? Usually a few minutes.
