    If a tank wants to dodge frontal cone, either run THRU the boss straight ahead and then back to original position (facing boss away from the group) or strafe to one side and then back. If a tank cannot hold the boss without dying unless they're spinning it constantly, there is something wrong with either their gear, or their healer.

    You have dps at the back or sides of the boss trying to be positioned for certain attacks, etc. Making the boss spew attacks in all directions at them is a terrible tactic and hurts their damage output.

    I would not suggest spinning. I would suggest standing still the entire fight even less

    Try standing right under the front foot, and run THROUGH the dragon on the big breath weapon attack. That is the only attack you need to miss, as well as not standing you or the dragon in the pools.

    You need to know when to move as a tank, and when not to.

    Yeah, spinning the boss is a very good idéa...

    ...If you are one of those trolls that want to make another partymember disconnect before you so you do not get the DF debuff...

    Seriously, I am a DPS and I would HATE if you by accident made the boss attack me. I am fragile :> A healers task is to heal you, keep them occupied by that task.
