    From my experience with GW2, you never ever have to enter a dungeon. Plus, that's not really a 'teaching moment' through a job quest. There are plenty of places where one had to learn how to CC properly in WoW, for instance --- thinking specifically about Sunken Temple and the green dragon area in particular. But those weren't 'job quests to teach you how to do your job properly', although I did have an experienced Shaman take two of us as hunters through that area and teach us how to CC. That game just threw things at you, like most games.
