Do tanks always rush?

I really don't understand this mentality. If I cue as a healer, why is it that I should be expected to invalidate my role and deal damage? Isn't that an insult to the dps, just like a dps healing an insult to the healer? So I guess I just don't understand this mentality either, why should healers be expected to deal damage?

I don't think it should be expected in DF. I stance dance because I know the tank is high ilvl and is using their CDs appropriately. There are times when it's just not possible to DPS because of other factors, and that is okay. I think as long as you go-in that everything is situational and if it's not comfortable for you to stance dance and keep the tank alive, then don't do it. Stance>Swiftcast>Holy might be good for the big pull situation but sometimes it won't be.

Precisely! This is what I said in my post before this one.
