1) You're the one that said order didn't matter. Now you're backpeddling out of that opinion when there's a blatant death situation for the wrong decision of order.
2) If you died, that means you failed to understand the ability of your kit as well as your group's. If you don't have analytical skills for what you can and can't handle and have variance available in your playstyle, you're not a good player. Either you:
A) only do what you're told by someone else who likely didn't want to bother you with nuance and detail for your sake and theirs
B) you're brain off and don't care about dying and would do the same dead-pending pull over and over again with no adjustment
or
C) pull a BLM saying "healer adjust" and likely get kicked.
3) Clearly I know how to mitigate cooldowns if I gave an example off the top of my head for a mitigation situation that would result in a death that you didn't consider previously. Stone Vigil is just one tank check instance. Aurum Vale, Bardam's Mettle, Dohn Mheg, Mt. Gulg will all severely punish a tank that doesn't know what they're doing while trying to run wall to wall if they don't have a good healer carrying them. I could tell you never tried to teach a new tank how to do pulls, how to rotate mitigation, how to push themselves in a safe way without wiping the group. No tank mentor would mention only doing wall to wall pulls with the same mitigation rotation every single run unless there were drastic restrictions such as last expansion dungeons only with competent healers and dps's. There's always stipulations and context.
and that is why:
4) Your opinion on YPYT is invalid. If you are a Trust NPC because that's how your friends taught you to be, you don't get to speak on things that affect the enjoyment of the game from other tanks who are trying to optimize or are trying not to get yelled at/deal with anxiety/or feeling like a nuisance to their party. You weren't taught various things or didn't experience them. And you don't care about other people's experiences. You come off as a male version of Wuk Lamat, letting everyone else do the actual work while you do the bare minimum of just being around and hitting buttons to think you're contributing and getting achievements so you think everything you're doing is working. When in reality, you're still just as naive as when you started, but because you got a few pats on the back, you think your opinion matters and you're ready to lead and have discussions about community expectations.
