It is nice to hear, but it also made me realize that this is more "tank, bad pulling".

If a healer is at their wit's end to get you through a mighty pull, then surely it means that the tank has overpulled, right?

I can heal through most overpulls, assuming they are manageable in normal circumstances. I fluff every so often, but it happens to the best of us.

But, surely by commending healers for getting through big pulls, it is doing a disservice to the tanks who, in the future, believe that the way they are pulling can work with lesser/new healers.

Yet. We aren't allowed to say that it was a bad pull, because of the risk of being reported. So us healers can do nothing but say "thanks", and then wait for the inevitable fluff-up with the next healer who can't heal through those mighty pulls and gets ganged up on.
It's only an overpull if you wipe.
