You're a good man, sir. (Or good woman, m'am; whichever you prefer)

You're also the exception, unfortunately. When I started healing level 50 content I was extremely uncomfortable with speedrunning and start panicking when a tank would proceed to pull everything with no announcement, especially when I knew straight up it was out of my capacity to heal them through. Hell, I've seen tanks straight up ignore it - I'd say "I can't heal enough to do full speedruns" and... they'd do it anyway, and then finally say something only when they inevitably died.

Speedrunning is something to be opted into, as it requires an extra level of comfort, knowledge, and execution from all involved. Treating it as a default state inevitably causes problems.
