Yeah, I had a story Brayflox run back when I was leveling SMN where the tank was rather bad. I kept ripping hate with Bane, and the healer was with his cures. When the healer was like, "Don't blame me if you die because I can't keep up with heals," I responded with, "Nah, I'd blame the tank, because neither of us is doing enough that we should be getting aggro." After that, we just worked together to keep things flowing more or less smoothly and eventually cleared the dungeon. One heck of an Aiatar fight, though. @_@
