Accepting and understanding your complaints, but I have to say, faults on both sides...

#1 Rule of Tanking: Face the Boss away of the Grp, best with a Wall behind you...

Neither it was smart to even allow this, nor for the DD´s to not take a step aside, but yeah, as my blackmages perspective, i would think it´s your job not to get me in this situation at first (unneeded moving kills BLM´s DPS - AND is annyoing).
So in this case, they weren´t to blame completely on "managing to wipe" - except for Case #2

#4 Rule of Life: Thinking ahead AND also for other people saves you much disappointment.

Patching this on ARR, assuming your allies are as smart as potatoes helps, and leaves more joy if you get people who know what they are doing...
