This is the right answer. There are multiple forms of "mitigation".
  • Actual buttons that tanks can use to reduce damage taken (Rampart, hallowed, TBN etc etc),
  • Sprinting between packs so they can't hit you
  • Healer mitigation (Sacred soil, Temperance, Divine Benison etc etc)
Another one of those is killing mobs. Because as Saraide said: Dead mobs do zero damage to the tank. If you can shorten a trash pull by 20-30s by significant healer DPS, then that is one less CD a tank has to use, which is one more CD a tank has for the next pack.
