This... so much this. I cant describe how this picture made my day and sums up the situation.

Vitality over what you need for a buster allows for more party mistakes. This is not exclusively -your- mistakes, or the healers, but the dps.

Dps messes up. Healer goes to heal them--you wernt topped off, boss hits you again--now lower than what you would like to be. A healer has to decide who to heal, and might let the dps to die because you are in danger, or who knows the reason.

Keep in mind im not advocating stacking vitality, but that vitality beyond the 'amount needed to survive' only works well in statics where people seldom 'mess up'. So determine vitality based off your group performance.

I think thats the part that evades them is that its a team effort, not just an imaginary tanking dps check that will wipe the raid if they dont break 400 dps.

Actually had a STR DRK yesterday trying to AoE tank in Floor 2 that was vividly pissed that I couldnt repeatedly lustrate him fast enough to keep him alive, and that failing to do so ment I was a poor healer.... thats the general attitude.
