That's also part of the job. Or do you expect everyone to know everything, at all times, regardless of how many times they've done it, or how long since they've done the instance?

Or perhaps in your mind, someone getting hit by something avoidable, they're on their own then? Sucks to be them? How dare they don't know every mechanic, at every moment it's going to hit?

Healers exist to alleviate mistakes. If it was only for tankbusters and raidwides and nothing else, then dump the healers entirely, get them out of the game, and just give every job the ability to press to heal themselves every time the raidwide or tankbuster happens, then if they make avoidable mistakes, they die.
