If I don't see a High end healer, no speed run.

If I see people completely outwear me, ill say "hey guys, ill push it as fast as I can. let me know if you want me to speed up or slow down".. I know DF can be a pain in the ass with certain people, but as a Tank it is incumbent on you to communicate what you can and cannot do and what your expectations for a run are. I love when there are no AoEs in the group and you get a "wtf why so slow" comment.

Just my 2 cents.
