So, you mages....

Yes, me having to pop all my cooldowns in a single pull can slow down the run as a whole. I pace out my CD's to try to minimize the amount of healing necessary per pull which should then hopefully allow the healer to be able to maximize their dps, resulting in the mobs going down faster. If I am left with no CD's to use for 2-3 pulls that can potentially slow things down overall.

I also don't need my HP at 100% when I am tanking, even it hovering a bit below 50% most of the time is fine. When it is as low as 10% most of the time that leaves far too little flex room for a healer to react in most cases and get off a heal if something like a crit lands and yes this situation has resulted in me dying a number of times, to which the usual healer reaction has been something along the line of "lol, I forgot to heal".

Yes some people still do mark and I feel it is a good habit to be in when doing df or pug's since you don't know the skill level of the players you are being put with. By default I start with marking, if the group seems to know what they are doing I stop, otherwise I continue. It takes me no time to do since I mark while running to the next group so there is no good reason to not mark.

Yes, the roulette dungeons are super easy yet still I get put in parties that somehow manage to wipe in them because people do things that they shouldn't like aoe'ing the adds on the archer boss in Tam Tara HM, this has happened to me the last 2 times I have run the dungeon. So just because the dungeons are easy to those that know them, that still doesn't mean that people don't screw up in them or just plain don't know what they are doing even though they have said they do.

Lastly, calling my opinions on my recent experiences using the df as petty and insinuating that my statements are irrelevant and that I don't know what I am doing as a tank is completely uncalled for. These are my opinions based upon my experiences, just because you might have been more lucky and not dealt with stuff like this does not invalidate what I have said.
